I can upload it on request via PM, put please don't flood my PM inbox :)

NOTE:
I don't like pirating software, I paid for MM10 and Sygic promised to support MM10 on Maemo and after this didn't happen while they continue to spam my e-mail with offers related to their great SW running on Android, they've lost all my respect ;)

This desearves a self thread I think?
Not anly they didn't supported the app but also didn't makes maps for other part of the world like southamerica for ex. ( they made them for newest maps).
Please share how to get it to work ;)

navit in maemo repos is not working. you have to use the version in bokomoko repos http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Maemo

then you can install the packages tapping on C button of Faster App Manager (Category filter-> all packages and type navit to find the packages) packages to be installed are: navit and libfreetype6-navit

after this you need to dowload map from http://maps5.navit-project.org/ and configure xml files

waze works very well for me (may depend on your location -- I've used it without issue both in Israel and in the USA). See the t.m.o thread about waze.

Wowwwww I ask about GPS and I got tons of them to look at. I have looked at Modrana and it looks good. The voice sounds like a computer voice---but I could get used to that. I will try the others and see how they work.

Its funny because I have been to the app menu tons of times and didn't realize they were GPS apps.

Thanks,
Bobby

It does because it is :) Computer generated voice by espeak. Try this in the terminal:
Code:

espeak "A quick brown fox jumped over a lazy dog."
