some feedback.
loads very quick. gps also only a few seconds indoor.
had a quick drive, lock was great no delay or lag noticed.
I also had sygic on my n97, this is much faster and responsive.

kudos to sygic

Now , with Sygic on the 5800 I`ve downloaded custom mp3 files for the speed cameras warnings ( instead of beeping, I`ve replaced the beep sound of the 30,40,50,60,70 mile warnings with actual voices saying 'thirty,fourty,.....' instead).I then went into the POI settings and manually replaced the beep sound with the mp3s.Can we do the same here?Can anyone check this?

This is an N900 my friend, running Linux, where there is a will there is a developer willing to help. What you ask should be pretty easy to do.

Lately Nokia devices have been laggy when Navigating (i.e. The position on the map is always several meters behind the actual position). This is more noticeable when driving slow inside the town and is enough bad that you will miss your turn.

How is the performance while driving? Anyone?

My experience this morning was that it did indeed start out like that, but that it improved over the course of five minutes. Even at its worst it allowed navigation within a small village. My guess is that when the gps fix is imprecise (big circle if you use Google Maps) it errs on the side of assuming you're further back than you are, but as it refines the fix it gets more accurate. After five minutes it was showing me passing side streets at exactly the same time that I actually was.

There are some MP3 files, should be easy to replace.

On another note it's nice to have this on the N900, now I only need MMS support and video calling and java support. Then I can sell my N95 8GB.

N900 has enough horsepower for it not to be laggy

Maaaan, I don't want to get too excited but it seems like this app is completing the N900 to be an all-on-one device finaly (well at least for me), if only nokia started to support it in the proper way as they suppose to do it.

:cool::D:eek::D:eek::D:eek::D:cool:

I will now officially stop whining, 'cause now I don't really care whether Nokia is going to improve anything at all or not.

Have a good one guys ;)

....also, what format extension are the maemo maps?Just to see if they are compatible with Symbian.Sygic says otherwise but I don`t believe them :)

If they are .mlm files I bet they are compatible!
