Ah, I have a similar issue when I go from 270 -> Interstate 495. It seems to put me on Georgetown Road. But I keep forgetting to report the issue.

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

Ya! i have the same problem too while driving back from Orlando to Tampa. I guess it can't recalculate when u r driving more than 60mph when you travel long distance. that is bad.


This weekened i am going to Orlando again, i will try to stop the car and see if get the same error...will report back.

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

Very disappointed, it is giving me the problem again. And Luckily this time i have my other phone with Co-pilot 8 run on WM6 as backup and turned it on at the same time to give me routes.

Oh nooo.... with same setting using :"Fastest route" and ignore "Toll Roads" on both Co-Pilot and Sygic.. Sygic route me to all kind of stupid routes even thought in front of me there is a I4 West heading back straight to Tampa and yet Sygic ask me to takes other kind of routes which so much further and longer routes..

I compare the times and routes... Copilot give me the routes with estimated arrived time 7pm and Sygic give me routes estimate arrvied time is 8:05pm.

Through out my 2 hours of travel on interstate I4... Sygic keep asking me to route to different routes and Co-pilot just stay keep quiet and continue guide me until i reached Tampa.

Wow! i won't never use Sygic on my outstation travel. thats really scary. I have used TomTom, IGo, Garmin, FineDrive, StreetDeck, Co-pilot, and now Sygic.....I would never recommend Sygic.

Make sure you get a backup GPS when u decided to travel far with Sygic.

What about Argentina?
We don't exist, right?

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

Isn't there supposed to be a new release (version)?

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

Any news about the version 10 release date?
One week? Month? Year? Century?

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

Hi,

yes, Mobile Maps 10 for Maemo will be available in this century, or in the next century at latest :)

We had first versions of the app ready back in April, but we did not want to make the app available for new customers before we can roll it out to existing customers. Updating existing customers to the new version is a complex task on the licensing side of it.

Plus, we also work with Nokia on simplifying the purchase experience. Currently, application and map file are separated in Ovi Store, which is confusing. Also, there are 2 different versions of the app available making life for customers not easier.

Actual timing of the update of existing customers to the new version can proceed when all of the above mentioned areas are covered and done. Bear with us, we work on the update with high priority.

Thank you.

Sygic Support.

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

So this means no new sygic version until the start of the summer holiday. :-(

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

I am pleased at least that Sygic are actually following this thread and making the odd announcement, keeping us informed and striving to fix bugs. :)

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

That is way too optimistic :)
Sygic say they need to get Nokia to sort out the Ovi Store side and things and from experience we all know Nokia cannot operate Ovi

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

I would also like to contribute to this (I did not read the whole 134 pages, so this may already have been mentioned).

I live in Finland, a small town called Lumijoki, to be exact. I tested Sygic MM9 (the one in Ovi store), and was very disappointed with it. I tried several familiar addresses around this area (in a range from about a couple of kilometers to a hundred kilometers). Trying to navigate to an address (Navigate to... -> Address) most of the time fails, because the cities are somehow mixed. The streets are placed to wrong cities, or the cities themselves are placed inside other cities - for example: "Lumijoki (Liminka)". Liminka is the town right next to Lumijoki. This makes it very hard to find any destinations, because you would have to know every city around your target city and try to guess where the target street is placed.

If I try to navigate to my home address, the street is not found in my hometown. Actually there is only one street in my hometown, according to MM9, which is the E8, quite a big "interstate". But... if I try to navigate using a zip code, everything works perfectly. I can find my home street, which is good. Except that MM9 seems to think that my home street is located in an another neighbor town (Siikajoki). It will navigate to my home all right, but irritating still.

So, I would need to always know the zip code of the target to navigate reliably. Which can be hard if you are trying to navigate to some rented summer cottage, for example.

I realize this may also be a map problem (I was testing Multimaps Nordic), but nevertheless, the user experience on my testing was terrible because of this. I'm just glad it was a free trial.

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

Well at least there is a map for Finland! Australia doesn't exist yet........

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

What's up with Mobile Maps 10 ? Coming "soon" ? :x

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

Thank you for your reply. But you should keep into consideration that there are new potential buyers (one of them it's me) who don't have version 9 and are waiting for version 10, because i woul really be nonsense to buy version 9 now when version 10 is available to all the other OS.
Further I will buy it from your site and not from OVI.

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

So uh, when's that update coming? I like to check in every month and see where we're at. Apparently no news yet.

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

Sygic Support has contacted me and appear to be trying to resolve the issues above, I would assume, for Mobile Maps 10. I'll post with additional news when I have some.

City / County Confusion in Sygic in the US
 

I have noticed one error as well which is very prevalent in Sygic when using it in the US.

In the lower right corner of the screen it displays the county I am currently travelling through, such as Johnston and Wake when I travel from home to my office in North Carolina.

Same has been true on my travels through over 20 other states. I´ve always thought that this had to be a mistake and that they´d really meant to place cities / towns there as displaying the County is of use to no-one and my hunch seems to be correct, from what I´ve seen on my travels in Denmark and Iceland where the cities are displayed instead of the county equivalents.

So instead of displaying Johnston and Wake in NC for example the lower right corner should display Clayton, Knightdale and Raleigh as I move toward work every morning.

If sygic wants to contact me then they can do so at my username @gmail.com I´ll be happy to provide further examples and some corrections to street/city data in Sygic maps.

For example the street I work on is displayed as the only street in the city of "Wake" North Carolina. Wake however doesn´t exist as a city, as it is a county, and the street Falls of Neuse Road really belongs in the city of Raleigh.

Other such examples are multiple, especially in downtown Atlanta, GA where I noticed all my hotel addresses downtown, as well as the airport being listed under the city of Fulton (which is a county not a city) instead of Atlanta.

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

Hi all,
just my experience: I upgraded to version 10 but I think this version is terrific! I wrote to the Sygic support my notes but didn't receive any answer yet, following are the issues I suffer:
1) the new scrolling interface is quite unusable because it's very slow and there are cases when you try to click an icon but the event goes to another one;
2) the CPU is always pushed at 100% (no OC, power-kernel 37 as used in prev MM 9 version) and it drains the battery in about 1,5 hours which is unacceptable while long driving;
3) several program crashes while driving (had to restart it while driving on highway because had to know where to exit in the next 2Km!);
4) GPS signal lost while in open space (outside cities, no buildings around), I had to close and restart the application to have the signal back;
5) I can't manage to write correctly contacts' addresses (using the standard contacts manager application), there is no way to use the "drive to contact address" function;
I didn't install new applications which could interfere with MM10 before or after the upgrade and don't use extras-devel repositories (system version PR1.2).
I wonder if I could reinstall the version 9 but use the new Map files to have at least them up to date.
I think Sygic should provide some patches because this version in quite unusable, while the previous was very good and saved me in lots of cases :)
Thank you very much, bye.

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

Well, let's face it. Sygic probably gets all the major of their income from the iphone app. That's where all the development is directed and it's the iphone app that is being updated in the first place. Sad but true...

Maemo is a dead-end, it's a good OS thought, but it's finished.
Sadly, this is what happens when the OS is no longer in the mainstream, well Maemo actually never had been there...

Great, powerful hardware and no interest from the major mobile development companies whatsoever.

Won't sell it though, there is no replacement that's on the market right now:p

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

It's not an excuse for me, I would prefer for sure having free Maps data updates, not necessary the whole software (for which I paid for).
I have nothing against Sygic but it's not a good policy to release software without testing (and the problems I have are symptoms of very poor testing IMHO).
Furthermore nobody obliged them to port MobileMaps to the N900. They thought to do business with it (and I hope they did) but if I pay for it, I don't want marketing, I want good software.
Bye :)

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

Still no NZ

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

I really can't understand this either. Maps installed in N900, GPS receiver in N900...why can't it find any satellites? I was on the top of a hill in the Santa Cruz Mountains last weekend and it couldn't lock onto a single satellite.

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

Just for your information: I updated from the Sygic repository the new v10 and now it works very well, all the problems are solved :)
Bye.

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

Is this possible?:

Make Sygic 9/10 stop nagging about congestion zones.

Make Sygic 9/10 display/warn about speed cameras even when no route is selected/calculated.

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

Yeah Sygic 10 works fast and stable :)

Who was this answer for?

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

Is this Sygic 10 same as v8.1.6? I'm getting quite confused on this actually...:confused:

Map Version: 7.80
So, is this the latest? I just installed it 2 days ago after upgrading to PR1.3.

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

I just wanted to publicely thank Sygic Support for having solved almost immediately my installation problems (usb failure and subsequent device swap) - it took less than 24hours to have everything on the road again!
TY Sygic!

yes, they're still working on it. No release date and no price just yet.

I don't see india in that list... is it available for India as well?

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

I used my Sygic navigation a couple of weekends ago for a journey from Bath to Frome. Despite saying I wanted the fastest route it took me down a single lane road which turned into a farm track. When after 5 miles of thsi I came across a main road it still refused to take me down it and was intent on sending me down an unamed single track road. In fact every time we used it it wanted to follow the most direct route, regardles of setting and regardless of the suitability of the roads to motorised traffic.

The fact that the app closed down for no reason too many times means I have completely lost faith in it and resorted to buying a satnav that does not assume i drive a tractor!

Also despite having te latest version the exit button is still on a second screen and still requires confirming. This makes shutting the application a right pain.

Shame, it started out so promising too

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

Just bought the UK licence and traffic updates a couple of weeks ago for about £20 all in, and reasonably impressed so far.

It does seem to be quite processor intensive, but there is only a couple of niggles which irritate me.

I would be very interested to see Aura on the N900, and what the upgrade cost would be.

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

Did they finally include APAC - Malaysia maps? :)

Hi,

we are sorry you experience such issues. We are investigating the cause.

Thank you for reporting the problem.

Good to see you on the boards much appreciated. Do you have any further news on the Aura upgrade timescale/price ect.

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

AURA is not an upgrade to SMM10 but a completely new application, afaik.
