I looked into it. They are the same maps. Not sure about the licensing costs but I suspect they are the same. I really think the just don't believe we are clever enough to figure out we are paying to be screwed.

Anyway, if you like the looks of that Sygic software, send them an email. Let's let them know we are an interested community. Even those who are not concerned with GPS should be trying to get companies to recognize the nokia I Tablets. Imagine all of the open source software currently being developed combined with all of the closed source options available to WM users, if you need them.
