can you please let us know where exactly this is happening? A to B and on which road. And ideally also before which intersection / right turn this is happening. This will help us investigate the issue.
Also, which instruction voice do you use?
Thank you.

My respect for Sygic started very high but is diminishing with every day that they don't acknowledge this problem!
actually, we are working on an update which will address energy consumption and app responsiveness.
Unfortunately we can not provide you with timing on when the update will be delivered to customers who have either online shop app version or Ovi Store app version.
Lots of people also voted at feedback.sygic.com for new product Aura to be launched for Maemo. This is planned now. But please understand that addressing both technical issues with Mobile Maps 10 update and Aura launch will result in extended delivery times for both.
We will do our best to provide you with an update as soon as we can.
Thank you.
Sygic Support.

In my humble opinion fixing already released CLEARLY broken / faulty product (crashes constantly) should be on top of their priority list instead of launching new product. You guys @ Sygic should think about people who have PAID REAL MONEY for the software which isn't usable at it's current state.
But hey, that's just me and my opinion.

SMM 10 does not start in portrait mode while the N900 is in vertical position; no way to correct the orientation other then removing the N900 from the car mount (particularly disappoint after a crash to desktop, because then I am driving and not allowed to pick up the phone due to road code).

(No idea whether this blue bar is still to the right, at least it is not between the task bar and the map/menu.) So this not only gives you the portrait screen always (no change back to landscape even you turn the N900) but also shortens the distance from the cigarette lighter to the N900 power socket.

Worst of all. You can't revert back to MM9 because it cannot be activated. And using v10 maps in MM9 fails. This means we're stuck with a disfunctional product untill the update.

Anyhow, It happens everywhere I travel so can't give you a list of roads. It happened last week on holidays near Wales and it happens on the journey home and pretty much everywhere I travel. It happens at exactly 0.6 miles from a turn and just says, "Turn Right". Sorry I can't be more descriptive than that really.

Come on Sygic! Pusing new product on the markets before the previous is fixed is just pure cashing! And you guys come here and ADMIT that there will be delay for the fix because you are so busy on pusing new (propably unfinished) product on the market so you can get more income from customers. Too bad that propably the existing customers won't buy the "Aura" based on their experiences with SMM10... did you ever think that?

- Route calculation prefers motorways too heavily, so that even in mode "economic route" a route is recommended that is 12 km longer but just a minute or so faster than the shorter route (the route calculation has been suboptimal in SMM9 already).
In addition: N900 becomes much warmer than with SMM9, route calculation takes much much longer (without providing better routes).By the way: I've never got a reply when writing to support@sygic.com.
