Tested again today on a journey into and out of London. No lag to report. Speed camera detection very good. Voice navigation commands spot on.

The only weird thing to report is that when approaching a roundabout the voice navigation will say something like "Go straight over the roundabout".

That's not strange you might think to yourself, but it will say that for every roundabout even if you have to take the first, second or third turn-off.

Other than that - am pretty pleased with performance now. As others have mentioned. Pricing will be key to my decision though as if it is too expensive then I will simply buy a decent dedicated sat nav. If the pricing is spot on I would get the Sygic.

I don't know why the launch has been delayed and the earlier news about it already been submitted to OVI and hitting a glitch seems to be false to me because of the updates that are being issued and fixes that have been worked on.

I think that they must be just smoothing out the final noticeable bugs.

I will see if I can find out the final launch date next week.
Maybe sygic is waiting for NOKIA to get their store up properly before they release it....

i don't think so because they are definately working on bugs so i can only assume that they are ironing them out.

Dear Ima,

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Katarina and I work s Technical Support at Sygic company.To your question: I have great news! Sygic will sell individual packages of groups of countries, but also package of whole Europe and package of all US countries.

So you don't need to buy two packages, but all in one.

For more information, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Katarina ;)

All the ONE US country... though I think she meant all the US states. Either way, the entire US. I guess she could have meant all the American countries?

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.).

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!

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.

79.99 EUR

US, canada and mexico:
62.99 EUR

australia and new zealand:
59.99 EUR

and so on...

Good morning!

We are currently awaiting approval from NOKIA OVI Store for Europe and US packages. Maps of other countries will be added soon, unfortunately I can't give you exact date (it's question of couple of weeks I believe). We are very pleased by your attention and I would like to ensure you, maps of Brazil will be also available for sure.

As soon as I have any closer information I will let you know directly.

Katarina

Hello :),

Officially it's supported Maemo 5 (and higher). Maemo 4.1 (Diablo) was not tested, yet. According to this fact I can’t tell you with 100% assurance that application will be working properly on your device.

Katarina, we've been feeded here so many times with "soon, approx, we're waiting, nokia is polishing" kind of Marry Christmas BIG words:p

And no, I don't believe that Sygic is not informed by nokia when it's ready to appear on the OVI Store, it's you as the company should care the most, so please give as an ETA!

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo
 
I am somewhat worried that this app will ever see the light of day in the OVI store. The Angry Birds paid for add on is still not there after they found fault with the payment mechanism, that was weeks ago. I have not seen any paid for apps since and suspect that this is what will hold up the launch of Sygic. Therefore I fear it could be months away unless Sygic offer it direct :(

Maybe Nokia and Sygic are working on a deal. We are supposed to
get free navigation by March.

I think it would be a good deal for ALL
- N900 users: getting a free navigation solution, until a (maybe) update to maemo6
- Nokia: satisfying all early adopters of the N900 unstead displease them
- Sygic: earning money for the development of the maemoversion unstead ceasing a new product in case of a free version of OVI maps for N900 users

Let's hope ...

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo
 
Remember that Sygic also sells maps for Symbian devices, and I am sure sales figures were affected by the announcement of Ovi Maps free navigation forever...

We don't know how this could have affected the business relationship between Nokia and Sygic, and even with other GPS apps companies which had versions for Symbian.

One curious fact about Sygic for Maemo is the they are using maps from Navit, which is owned by Nokia and also feeds Ovi Maps.

I think a possibility is that Nokia will position free Ovi Maps as an platform to get revenue with advertising and location-based applications, while Sygic will be dedicated to navigation in a more detailed way.

mr_bridger 2010-02-05 15:45
Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo
 
At this rate N900 owners will end up with no voice guided navigation at all...

Sygic, and all/any other companies pull out of developing software for nokias, as their "chips have been wee'd on" by nokia giving away similar products for free...

and Nokia not bothering developing OVI MAPS on N900 as only a "beta" device, steping stone to Meamo6....

:(

Hello!

Thank you for your question and interest. Unfortunately TMC won't be not included in current highly expected version, but it's planned to implement this great feature in close future.

Have a nice weekend ;)!

Will sygic mobile maps for maemo speak the street names? In other words tells you "Turn left on Barack Obama Boulevard" instead of "Turn left in 300 yards"...

Hi!

I am very sorry for using uncertain words as "coming soon, close future, upcoming days" and so on, but I'm sure all of us knows how is technique unpredictable and sometimes certain things take longer time to prepare then it's planned. I would like to ensure you if I have exact date I would post it. Now it's in NOKIA hands only.
All we want is to bring the best application to the market ;)

Thank you for understanding!

Have a great weekend!

Katarina.

I don't think that is entirely true as I have posted earlier mentioning important bugs that were being worked on after that supposed announcement.

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo
 
Good free navigation would be one of the strongest gestures in a race for N900 buyers. N900 can win this race over HTC HD2, iPhone and Motorola Droid only if Nokia offers something more, and for a lot of people the key is navigation.

People are very interested in buying N900, but when they realize how crappy navigation we have and that there is no free office package (must have for emails!), they rather look for other phones.

N900 has great potential, but out of the box is without some (these days) crucial features like MMS, office package, turn-by-turn navigation, videocall... That's really, really bad promotion for "a killer" phone.
