Bad news, it looks like there won't be any map packages or discounts anytime soon. Now the good news, if we buy individual maps, they will "link" together and we will be able to calculate routes and do seamless navigation. Here's what they told me.
If you will buy packages that covers whole route from Spain to Germany, you will be able to navigate without any limitation.
Unfortunately, I’m not able to tell you if any Western Europe map pack will be available as it was not yet decided. Currently and in near future, we will sell only those European packages already available.

@cardiff-blues: Can you tell me the file structure / file extension of your maps folder for Sygic please? If it is different to other versions Sygic uses a different map format for Maemo which would be bad
I got an email from Sygic regarding the maps:
So I want to be sure.

I got a very fast answer from Sygic regarding my concerns about this situation, that's what they just told me:
In short: on Symbian, iPhone, Windows Mobile and Android you can get a full European map for €79,95, but on Maemo we will have to buy individual maps that, I'm sure, they will be much more expensive together than a full European map.
If anyone is as interested and worried as I am, please let Sygic know and contact their support (support at sygic.com, replace at with @), they need to know that lots of people find this situation unfair.
I fully agree with you, but I’m not able to change the countries included in packages or so. I will forward your email to responsible person and hopefully they will take some steps.
I do not think that price for whole Europe will be hundreds of Euro, but in fact, I still don’t know exact price for packages too.
If anyone is as interested and worried as I am, please let Sygic know and contact their support (support at sygic.com, replace at with @), they need to know that lots of people find this situation unfair.

thanks for writing them, but it's still not quite clear to me if the "split" is only of a technical nature (as in, you pay for Europe and download the maps indivdually), or if it's a business thing, meaning you have to buy the maps individually?
Hopefully Australian maps are available as they are with the iphone and all the rest.

What I can confirm is that in the test version I have the ability to install maps for: Benelux, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Eastern Europe, France, Iberia, Italy Nordics.
Although not sure if these will be available in release version.

I hope you are right, but I can't see them selling each country for just €10 or €15

All times are GMT. The time now is 10:48.
In my case i don't mind. In 99% of the i will be driving though benelux. And when i go to another country i can decide to buy the map of the destination country and not the onces that i'm traveling through because you need navigation more in the cities than on the highways.
So if they make the country downloads cheaper than whole europe, i'm happy.
