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

I have a question for the people that already acquired this software - how is the GPS fix, assuming I have the network sync disabled? I am never able to get a GPS-lock using Ovi Maps or the Location widget without the use of network sync. So my question is whether Sygic fixes that?

Can you launch the app in Portrait mode?

or do you have to change it to Portrait every time you launch it?

I just received the email and thought, "oh well, 10% is better than nothing". I headed for the Sygic store and duly entered my code to get my 10% discount and when I recalculated the order it took off 100%.

I then went back to my email so that I could contact them and tell them there was an error with the code that they have sent me as it was giving 100% instead of 10% and then I reread the email: 100% discount.

Wow, I was absolutely floored. :)

I really didn't expect that but all I can say is that they really are trying to be customer focused.

Nokia! take note! You can learn a lot from Sygic.

Wow, that is nice. It would be nice if freakin' Nokia would just send me the $50 it owes me!!

I can run Sygic without any internet connection and navigate. it does full postcode and address search, hope that clears that up for people.

okay this is getting confusing maybe someone could clear this up by running the map for Malta on Sygic.
Hey crisismt are you from Malta what with the mt and all. I'm Maltese never saw someone else with an N900 here everyone's got an xpress 5800 and the only 'high-end' phone I've seen being used was the n97.

I did, and cant find malta in the SW.

if I look at the folder maps, there is a file, 1 kb. and most of the other countries have one more lager file. any one navigating around in malta as we speak?

Just to make sure: Can you listen to music via media player while navigating? What's the performance like?

What's Sygic doing when receiving a call?
