How do you do this?

Great news indeed, looking forward to the release :-)

I don't suppose you have a Maemo 4.1 (Diablo) version in the works too?

Does OviMaps really appear to be that qualitatively competitive with Sygic?

Well, there is something to be said about that argument about carrying around multiple devices. If you're paying only slightly less than a used 5800 to have Sygic, and you have the benefit of carrying around only that ONE device that's always around when you need it (be it in your own car, in a rental car that you didn't expect you'd need, or in an outing with friends and need impromptu directions, etc.).

What do you think it should cost? Just curious to see what people think is fair.

Katarina ;)

Katarina,

I've already contacted Sygic through email asking about Brazil maps availability, and they say it will be launched in the future since N900 was not officially launched so it is not a priority. Please confirm if you have any idea about this time gap between the official launch and the addition of Brazil maps.

Thanks in advance!

Which is...? (I have no idea) ...or are you implying they should all jsut be the same, despite whether they fall or rise in price?

Why the hell are you saying 'why the hell?' :) You sound impatient. You must REALLY like Sygic.

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

Can't wait for this to come out, should be good (although besides the ridiculously long load time, I dont mind ovi maps that much).

PS: Grats on 1000 posts Danramos!

I think that the hold up is Nokia getting their Ovi store to work properly. According to Sygic they have been asked by Nokia to release it thru the Ovi store. Sygic has submitted it to Nokia 1/14/10 and Nokia has not "approved" it yet. I think that they should bypass the Ovi store and sell direct.
