i have sent 4 email, with not 1 return by a human, only showing that they "read" the message, and 1 auto-response.

:/
Yes I just did...

I went to the ZIP file link in the e-mail and with Windows, right clicked upon it and chose to "save target" to my desktop.

I unzipped the archive on the desktop then opened the new folder "SetupSMM_Maemo_USA".

I connected the N900 via USB and chose "Mass storage mode"

Opened the N900 removable storage drive from my desktop computers' file manager and copied the directories found in the unzipped "SetupSMM_Maemo_USA" folder over to the N900.

I also copied over to the N900 the SetupMobileMaps.deb file that I found in the unzipped folder.

Unplugged the N900 and openned its file manager, selected the SetupMobileMaps.deb and rocked on.

The whole think took about 25 minutes.

I went to the Sygic site, registered and logged in and then followed the activation instructions.

I'm now going to find zehjotkah's customization threads.

I must say how similar the lay-out and menu's appear to Tom-Toms. I'll know shortly what the directory structure looks like and if these similarities end.

BTW, has anybody said what format POI's are in and if Sygic provides a converter?
