Although officially Sygic for Maemo does not have maps for Israel, I found a work around that works!

You will need to have Sygic for Maemo installed and a copy of Sygic Israel Maps for any other platform (I have used Sygic 7.71.5529 for Symbian and Windows Mobile). Follow these steps in order to add the Israeli maps:

1. Connect your N900 using a USB cable in MASS STORAGE mode.

2. From your Sygic Israel folder, copy the following to your N900:

- /MAPS/isr to /MAPS/isr on your N900
- /MAPS/Israel_English.mlm to /MAPS/Israel_English.mlm on your N900.

Note that the name of the file may be different so make sure you are copying the right file. Also, please use the Israel English maps. Hebrew maps work fine but I have not managed to get the keyboard layout to present the hebrew characters yet so all addresses needs to be in english.

- /Res/Voices/Hebrew to /Res/Voices/Hebrew on your N900
- /Res/Voices/Hebrew2 to /Res/Voices/Hebrew2 on your N900
- /Res/skin/hebrew.lang to /Res/skin/hebrew.lang on your N900

3. Disconnect your N900 from the USB cable.
4. Run Sygic Mobile
5. Switch map to Israel_English (name varies per the .mlm file you copied)
6. Activate if needed.
7. Note that you can change the interface language to be in Hebrew and use a hebrew voice for the navigation.

Enjoy!

Does this also show the occupied/Palestinian territories? I'm planning on visiting this summer so this could be very useful.

Thanks for sharing

Not sure about that... This is a question to Sygic as I don't know if they cover the palestinian areas.

I also have this problem. I sent mail to Sygic with this question... Maybe the update for Online store version will resolve this issue...

does someone have any idea why the hebrew keyboard (or any other language but english)
isn't working in the address search field?
(it works fine in any other place - POI search, itinerary save, ect..)

this is the only reason we can't use hebrew map as well...

I have not been able to load the English map. Only hebrew.

My HW keyboard works fine with all other applications but in this case.
i think the problem is generic to all languages - the change language button is grayed out.
