i am soooo p*ssed off that i cant get turn by turn sat nav on this phone.nokia need a kick up the ***! where is ovi maps for the n900?

are there any alternatives to sygic?

Route66 on N95 8GB is probably the best alterntaive - although it doesn't have speed cameras.

I find it absolutley brilliant.

jesus christ!
ok, so i fianlly find out that you have to download the maps as well as the app itself - theres no instructions about this or notifications and the map app isnt listed with the maps on OVI...arrgh!

anyway, i have both now.

installed it. now it tells me my license has expired.

i havent got a license...aaargh! kill! kill!

Firstly the speaker volume is just tooooooo loowwwww.

Secondly the routing algorithm is crap - there's just no other way of putting it! It takes me the long way round EVEN if I select shortest route!

Hi,
We are sorry to hear you have issues with routing.

Can you be more specific about the problem, it would help us locate it. It would be great, if you could show us the route on Google maps using road planner. You can use link button in upper right corner of Google maps and send link in reply.

Thank you for using Mobile Maps.

Sygic Support.

I emailed also last week and it took 3 days to reply. Then I got other replies within 15 minutes.

So Sygic,

Given that "There are two different app versions available" would you recommend buying the on-line shop version? This allows future updates?

But IMO it's not just a mobile phone any more. Indeed calls are the thing I probably use least frequently!

Am all for user choice though, my vote would be to cause the nav to continue.

Re: {REVIEW} SYGIC Mobile Maps 9
 
I'm somewhat confused about the purchase options.

It appears I can either get:
* Ovi store version 40 EUR - UK/ireland
* Sygic shop version 60 EUR - Europe

Additionally Sygic store option appears to have extra features (auto rotate, background etc) but I suspect this is down to an update, which is presumably what the references to a sygic repository were related to?

I did notice that Sygic doesn't appear able to use the GPS if another app is using it. Ovi maps, GPS datalogger, ecoach don't appear to have this problem. This feature is useful when using GPS data logging to track a journey, or to record location automatically. Not sure if this is fixed in a later version
