[Sygic Maps] Israel Maps - Solved!
 

Although officially Sygic for Maemo does not have maps for Israel, I found a work around that works!

You will need to have Sygic for Maemo installed and a copy of Sygic Israel Maps for any other platform (I have used Sygic 7.71.5529 for Symbian and Windows Mobile). Follow these steps in order to add the Israeli maps:

1. Connect your N900 using a USB cable in MASS STORAGE mode.

2. From your Sygic Israel folder, copy the following to your N900:

- /MAPS/isr to /MAPS/isr on your N900
- /MAPS/Israel_English.mlm to /MAPS/Israel_English.mlm on your N900.

Note that the name of the file may be different so make sure you are copying the right file. Also, please use the Israel English maps. Hebrew maps work fine but I have not managed to get the keyboard layout to present the hebrew characters yet so all addresses needs to be in english.

- /Res/Voices/Hebrew to /Res/Voices/Hebrew on your N900
- /Res/Voices/Hebrew2 to /Res/Voices/Hebrew2 on your N900
- /Res/skin/hebrew.lang to /Res/skin/hebrew.lang on your N900

3. Disconnect your N900 from the USB cable.
4. Run Sygic Mobile
5. Switch map to Israel_English (name varies per the .mlm file you copied)
6. Activate if needed.
7. Note that you can change the interface language to be in Hebrew and use a hebrew voice for the navigation.

Enjoy!

Does this also show the occupied/Palestinian territories? I'm planning on visiting this summer so this could be very useful.

Thanks for sharing

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

Not sure about that... This is a question to Sygic as I don't know if they cover the palestinian areas.

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

I also have this problem. I sent mail to Sygic with this question... Maybe the update for Online store version will resolve this issue...

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

does someone have any idea why the hebrew keyboard (or any other language but english)
isn't working in the address search field?
(it works fine in any other place - POI search, itinerary save, ect..)

this is the only reason we can't use hebrew map as well... :(

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

Same problem. very weird

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

dude, amazing!!!!!!! thanks a lot. I used to have sygic on my N95 and its the best!!

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

I have not been able to load the English map. Only hebrew.

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

btw,have u guys tried to use the hardware keyboard?? (in order to write hebrew)
read this

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

My HW keyboard works fine with all other applications but in this case.
i think the problem is generic to all languages - the change language button is grayed out.

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

We all know the Hebrew keyboard - we have been discussing about using Sygic's Israeli map (among other things) for quite some time now, over at http://www.pocket.co.il/community/forumdisplay.php?f=24

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

Although my maps are quite outdated, they don't contain PS territories (Orange's GPS also warns me if I go near that area - which is a bit.. sad)

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

On Topic :
I am still crying at night for not having waze.
And I am still crying in the morning when I get stuck on traffic I know I could have avoided using waze.

Off Topic :
I don't want to hijack this thread with political arguments, just wanted to say that the saddest thing is, I don't see this war / conflict ending any time soon, not even in the far future.
I have lost 2 friends in this war so far, and I point a blaming finger towards extreme religion on both sides.

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

I have the hebrew map,and obviously im experiencing the issues mentioned above, how do I turn it into english?? (is it even possible?? if not, how to get the english one??)

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

Finally I solved the hebrew keyboad problem!
just replace the /opt/sygic/res/skin/application.skin
file with this one:
http://www2.przeslij.net/download.ph...plication.skin

This is not a full solution - but now we have only hebrew keyboard instead of only english one.

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

this link is not working

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

weird thing is that instead of having to save POI for speed cameras you need to save the POI for checkpoints

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

The link is dead:(

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

weird, it works for me.
anyway... here is the file attached. :)

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

silly question... where do i get sygic and do i have to pay for it?

edit: i downloaded this: SYGIC MAEMO for NOKIA N900 Middle East1-khaled777

before i got my device its about 200MB but i got no clue what to do with it.

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

download sygic from the ovi store (the app without the maps...)

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

Thanks - seems to work fine :)

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

works pretty well

thanks

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

could you get me a link i am having trouble finding the damned thing :P

edit: is it called maps application? 67.4MB?

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

yea already installed thanks now i just need to get the maps which i do not have.. i installed this one before and it would always close the second i started up the app and it did the same right now but after three four times it became stable for some reason and running fine now.. just without maps so if you could send me some maps or link me to them it would be awesome.

thanks.

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

i would like to thank all those who assisted me, thank you guys it is working i also found "voice" for hebrew that includes "exceed speed limit" notification if you want it just im me and ill send you the link/file.

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

Great. (added on msn)
btw, Now im looking for POI, anyone know where I can find a pack of ALL the POI's that are on poiplaze??? (or any other good & updated pois)

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

It should be noted that Sygic's folder is /home/opt/sygic/ (At least on my phone), so you should put the Maps and Res folders there (Also, it's capitalized as "Maps" and "Res", but I haven't tested if Sygic is case sensitive).

Anyway, thanks, Kotlicki! It worked for me. :)

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!
 

well it works great, but I noticed a glitch, when looking for a poi,the keyboard is still in english only, any idea???

Re: Sygic Israel Maps - Solved!

Hi, try this:
You should really read the thread before posting questions...

Re: [Sygic Maps] Israel Maps - Solved!
 

Hi,
I've the same problem, i can't find the sygic's folder. my Nokia N900 doesn't have any folder named "home" furthermore i've searched all folders (including hidden folders) and didn't find folder named "sygic".
I think that there is a folder where all installed applications are placed, and that there is no access for them by mass storage access mode.,,
My Maemo version is 10.2010.19-1.002

Re: [Sygic Maps] Israel Maps - Solved!
 

You can only see files that are in /home/user/MyDocs in mass storage mode. You need to put Maps and Res in your MyDocs, and then copy them to the correct path using the terminal. I did that with Midnight Commander, but you can do it with two commands very easily (Do it at your own risk, of course - What worked for me may not work for you!). Open a terminal (Ctrl-Shift-X), and enter these lines: (Remember to disconnect the phone from the computer first so it can see MyDocs)

You will see a few warnings about not preserving permissions, that's ok as far as I know. Note that the Linux filesystem is case-sensitive - Name the folders "Maps" and "Res" and not "maps" and "res".

Good luck!

Re: [Sygic Maps] Israel Maps - Solved!
 

hello
After update to version 10, I can't activate the Israeli maps... Maybe someone have any idea ?
