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

Late summer, are they kidding is was supposedly ready pre Christmas? The lack of any concrete info unfortunaltely still leads me to the conclusion that this app will never see the light of day :(

I had hoped that with the Ovi Paid apps fix in the last PR that it would allow Sygic to release. Maybe they are waiting for the bigger firmware update?

They had fixed the Ovi store problem in the last update? And they probably are waiting for 1.2 if their app uses QT 4.6.

That's another reason why it should be worthy to know it Sygic uses QT or not. But if they do all the speech about launching the product last years was just lies...

It's terrible what you write. However I'll be forced to sell my n900. I have had enough deception from 3 months promises from Sygic navigation. Regret that I got rid of the iPhone because that phone have a choice of software, and here I only have promises. Surely the next phone will be the Google Nexus One rather has to Navigon. Maemo is only Linux, but poor development forgotten from Nokia

Hi Hardknox,

the problem is with Nokia and the Ovistore still not accepting commercial content and not with Sygic.
I think that Sygic should seriously consider publish their program themselves..

I've been keeping up with this thread, but it's been dragging on for a while now, and I can't remember what's been posted.

Is there a possibility that Nokia wants to buy Sygic,and use their software as the new Ovi Maps for Maemo/Meego?

The thread "Sygic navigation to be unvailed" with one post has been merged into this thread.

All of this talk about Ovi makes no sense to me....Sygic allows you to purchase and download their app directly from their site for other phones...why would they let Ovi delays hold them from releasing for the n900, month after month??

That would _only_ make sense if they have some pre-agreement with Nokia to only offer it through the Ovi Store...

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

Agree...but that seems odd, since I was able to walk all the way thru the checkout for the n97 (symbian) version. About the only conjecture I've seen that does make much sense is about some possible purchase....they of course wouldn't be able to mention it ahead of time to anyone. Otherwise, they'd have to have the worst public relations department in the world to let this go on like it has. <g>
