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.

yes I'm from malta and actually my two friends also have an n900 :). PM me maybe we could have a little chat sometime.

What's Sygic doing when receiving a call?

yes you can listen to music while navigating.
it seems there is no difference in performance.

i just called myself while listening to music and navigating - music gets paused and the phone-app opens

i declined the call, and the music would continue playing and navigation would continue.as well.

does anyone know how the call-function of the favorites work?
i added a friend to the favorites, but when i planned a route to his home, the menu didnt gave me the option to call him. the "call"-button was grey and i couldnt click it.
the name i entered is identical to the name i entered in contacts.

no.

question to sygic: @SygicOfficial thanks for your reply! may I upload the maemo-version to rapidshare, so you won't have any problems anymore? #n900 #maemo

answer: @zehjotkah No, please, keep it where it is:-)

watch the videos about sygic to get a feeling.

I would but for some reason I can't use the pm features. Don't know if that's standard if you're new to maemo.org or if there's something wrong but: 'permission denied' or something of the sort.

i strongly advise everyone not to buy this software at this moment.

not only does it seem that they advertise an incorrect map list (Malta - who knows what else is missing), they do not provide any privacy policy at this moment.

the document mentioned in the terms of use does not exist (www.sygic.com/privacy.htm gives a 404), and the ordering process is not encrypted at all - only the payment (i didn't order, so i can't even confirm that...)

i'd rather not send my data to someone not willing to provide some basic security for ordering.

Unfortunately I have to report that this application lags BADLY behind the actual position. I have seen it do the same on my colleague's WinCE device and also on my friend's 5800. Actually, it is better on the 5800 - side by side I had 22m accuracy and he had 11m.

Disappointing, to say the least. Ovi Maps is spot on on the 5800 so it can be done and the problem is the software... :(

Hi!

Anyone knows if the maps from Sygic_McGuider_v7.60.731 are compatible with this version?

I will buy it if so. Other way it's not good for me because is not providing the maps for Romania (only the transit roads).

Please give me a positive feedback!
