G'day all, first post from a complete computer-illiterate, so be nice.

I had to actually join (after snooping for so long) to record my success with getting Sygic MM10 + AU/NZ maps to integrate and work effectively.

As pigeond had alluded to (above), it can be made to work, although, it does cost you more than it ought to.

Firstly, I bought Maemo SMM10 - Canada (the cheapest option) and installed it all, then activated the Canadian maps.

Secondly, I bought the Android SMM10 AU/NZ package.

Once I had unzipped the SMM10 AU/NZ files onto my laptop, I connected my N900 via 'Mass Storage Mode' and copied the 'Maps' files - AU & NZ folders, as well as the SMM10 Australia & New Zealand.mlm file into the 'Maps' folder in my N900 root drive.

I held my breath and did a reboot and ran the Sygic MM10 program. I went to the 'Maps' icon in the program and switched to the SMM10 AU/NZ map, activated it and all is working 100%.

I'm very pleased with the outcome, however, am disappointed that Sygic is not providing a solution - off the bat - at a fair rate for end users from AU/NZ.

Disclaimer: I cannot explain it any better than how I have and I cannot provide any assistance, other than what I have already posted, so I'm not guaranteeing it will work for anybody else, nor can I assist with any fault-finding if it doesn't work for others, as I simply do not know how to.

However, if you want to have a crack at it, you may do so in the knowledge that a complete hack has been able to get it to function correctly.

cheers
