maemo.org - Talk - Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

I installed Sygic moving map yesterday, and used it for about 4 hours driving today. It works very good, with good voice guidance ( better sentences than ovi maps 3), with a femaile voice in dutch. I liked the program immediately.
Online reporting of traffic jams would be nice, but this feature. although available, didn't work in Ovi Maps, so, what's the difference ?

Strange thing is that however maemo is a linux distrubution, I had to install Sygic from a windows computer. The downloaded file is an .exe file. :( Installation from my ubuntu PC was not possible. I hope they will change that.
Downloading directly to the N900 was possible, but for installation I had to copy the file to the windows computer. :(

edit

I have just downloaded the zip file instead, and there is no setup for maemo listed in the root of the archive?
I can see a symbian one, winmo, and an android set up file thats it!
I know I selected the maemo version...

If you are the only one having this problem that means your CPU is doing something during the navigation....see if you have any applications running in the background updating info all the time....that`s where the problem lays.

Well, stop for a red light, first i line. sygic present 40-50 meter when it infact is between 5-10 meter to first turn.

You don't need to install from Windows. Just download .zip file instead of .exe, unzip and then copy all files into your n900. I know, it's not a installation, but you can do it from your Ubuntu.

I understand now. But its far from fool proof. You have to go, for example to the root part of the system and copy the files there.
