Apparently Africa doesn't exist.
Or has no streets maybe!
Oh well, I guess I'm stuck with Ovi 1 Maps...
Anyway the thread title should be sygic announces turn-by-turn navigation for some countries for Maemo - it clearly isn't worldwide. :-)

Still can't purchase it, however on Sygic store it looks like you won't be able to buy a full Western Europe map if you choose Maemo, and that's a big disappointment to me. You can buy it for Windows Mobile, iPhone, Symbian and Android, but for Maemo you must buy individual European maps.
I hope this will be addressed when the product is available for purchase, but I have a really bad feeling about it

I just emailed Sygic about it, I hope I will get an answer soon.

dont know if you can read too much into what maps are showing as available on sygic's store. Have you looked at the download file sizes. US east coast is 1.7GB and west coast is 100MB. I dont know much about the american road system (apart from the fact that they use the wrong side 
) but I am sure there is not that many more roads on the east.

Never mind. I see it here: http://sygic.com/index.php/en/how-to-buy.html
My wish has been granted

Just got an email response from Sygic:
Dear sir,
European maps has to be split due to application size restrictions on the Maemo platform. On the other hand, it is not a problem to use more packages at once – you will be able to navigate from Sweden to Italy without any problem for example.
Thank you for contacting support and your interest in our products!

Sygic website shop doesn't give the option of Australian & NZ maps on the Maemo version ? Hope this is not true.
