It has Canada as well now -- but as a separate purchase.

Do I need to add additional POI's or was the installation not completed somehow?
Here's the information based on:
I'm trying to locate a Borders store nearby:
Touch Map - Navigate to... - Point of Interest - Near my position - Show All - Any - POI: "Borders" // and the result is "Sorry, there is no Any in this area."
I'm using it too in the US. This I think is a prefetch bug. There are many map folders for the US, Sygic breaks the country down and ID's POI's by region apparently. The region I am in is the Philadelphia Metro Region. For faster searches it must load just the POI's for the region you are currently located. I have seen what you describe when I search for a POI outside my region. However, the POI's are still there.

When I go to "browse map", zoom out, and move the cursor to any part of the country: If I tap the menu button and select "Find nearby POI" It does return all nearby POI's. A search for "Borders" in Oklahoma City took about 15 seconds, but it gave me the Borders on the Northwest expressway there.

Does anyobe know which directory from the European Maps contains maps for Switzerland? I'm off to Zurich on Monday afternoon, and it woukd be nice to have the maps loaded.

I haven't used the PC install tool, but downloaded the distribution for direct installaltion and have just copied over to the N900 the few countries I'm interested in.

Thanks in advance, Simon.

Edit: I managed to find out the answer myself. Swiss maps are in the 'che' directory.

Hi,

we have packages ready for a number of additional regions. Unfortunately, our map provider needs to sort out paper work first which delays the process. We are working with them to get the job done quickly. Sincere apologies for delays.

Kind regards,
Sygic Support.

I am a bit confused - you guys said months ago that the application was ready and had been submitted to Nokia already for the OVI store and you were waiting on Nokia.

Surely if this was true then all paperwork around maps was also done months ago too?

Gotta love marketing talk

Is there a way to search for "places" in Sygic rather than by "address"? Is this possible at all?
