maemo.org - Talk - Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

I installed Sygic moving map yesterday, and used it for about 4 hours driving today. It works very good, with good voice guidance ( better sentences than ovi maps 3), with a femaile voice in dutch. I liked the program immediately.
Online reporting of traffic jams would be nice, but this feature. although available, didn't work in Ovi Maps, so, what's the difference ?

Strange thing is that however maemo is a linux distrubution, I had to install Sygic from a windows computer. The downloaded file is an .exe file. :( Installation from my ubuntu PC was not possible. I hope they will change that.
Downloading directly to the N900 was possible, but for installation I had to copy the file to the windows computer. :(

edit

I have just downloaded the zip file instead, and there is no setup for maemo listed in the root of the archive?
I can see a symbian one, winmo, and an android set up file thats it!
I know I selected the maemo version...

Well, stop for a red light, first i line. sygic present 40-50 meter when it infact is between 5-10 meter to first turn.

You don't need to install from Windows. Just download .zip file instead of .exe, unzip and then copy all files into your n900. I know, it's not a installation, but you can do it from your Ubuntu.

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

I understand now. But its far from fool proof. You have to go, for example to the root part of the system and copy the files there.

could always edit settings.ini and try taking off antialaising and probably edit FPs to slightly lower?

worth a try?

try to turn of position filtering (in settings.ini - PositionFiltering=false). But it can be worse, when you are navigating in the city (between buildings)...

I was just about to post that its not the smartest move to post links to pirated versions of the software

I did take a look at the link, and they had the cheek to say that copying their information in that thread was prohibited !

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

I have a question for you guys, say you are running both the media player and Sygic. If the FM transmitter is active when Sygic gives instructions (speech) does the media player pause? It would be nice to have this function.

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

I'm playing with Sygic MM9 now on my N900. Not 100% happy so far, some (early) gripes :

- the routing can be made more intelligent. Now it produces routes, though the fields, through the countryside. Motorway is fine of course but the way to get from my place to motorway is far from 'fast' or 'economical'. I tried both settings. Only a satnav can come up with these routes...

- at a bit higher altitude (more zoom out) lots of detail disappear. even when roads should still be visible, I can only still see village/city names. A bit bizarre.

- no way to use the in MM9 the address data from the phone contacts as route destination/way points ?

-or no other way around, maybe a contacts plug-in, on the detail screen of the contact, include a button : "navigate to here". Would allow more use of contact address data.

But I'm happy I can at least have a 'proper' satnav program on my N900. I do think the visuals, routing quality and integration can be better. But I guess we'll have to wait for version 10 and/or aura to get a bit more eye candy and maybe better integration/intelligence.

Right now it's a bit like the N900 itself, good already as it is but it has a lot more potential ;)

I think overall good value.

Thanks to Sygic to finally releasing it themselves and not waiting for Nokia !

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

It would be nice to be able to cycle through the poi searches. For example if I am searching for a chinese restaurant, there is no way for me to look where the chinese restaurant is relative to my position unless I click on it. Google does a very good job at this by having the ability to cycle through your searches.

This is very useful when I am traveling on an interstate and looking for a stopover place for a break. and Sygic is missing this sorely.

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

Ok this sucks, just purchased it and its just sitting at 0% of the download... I assume that since they now opened up the US maps as well as the European they are probably getting slammed!!

Good for them though, this product is well overdue... Hope it lives up to the hype when I finally get it downloaded.
