- N900 users: getting a free navigation solution, until a (maybe) update to maemo6
- Nokia: satisfying all early adopters of the N900 unstead displease them
- Sygic: earning money for the development of the maemoversion unstead ceasing a new product in case of a free version of OVI maps for N900 users
Let's hope ...

Remember that Sygic also sells maps for Symbian devices, and I am sure sales figures were affected by the announcement of Ovi Maps free navigation forever...
We don't know how this could have affected the business relationship between Nokia and Sygic, and even with other GPS apps companies which had versions for Symbian.
One curious fact about Sygic for Maemo is the they are using maps from Navit, which is owned by Nokia and also feeds Ovi Maps.
I think a possibility is that Nokia will position free Ovi Maps as an platform to get revenue with advertising and location-based applications, while Sygic will be dedicated to navigation in a more detailed way.

At this rate N900 owners will end up with no voice guided navigation at all...
Sygic, and all/any other companies pull out of developing software for nokias, as their "chips have been wee'd on" by nokia giving away similar products for free...
and Nokia not bothering developing OVI MAPS on N900 as only a "beta" device, steping stone to Meamo6....

Do you know, is traffic information integrated on sygic for maemo devices?
Thank you for your question and interest. Unfortunately TMC won't be not included in current highly expected version, but it's planned to implement this great feature in close future.
Have a nice weekend

Will sygic mobile maps for maemo speak the street names? In other words tells you "Turn left on Barack Obama Boulevard" instead of "Turn left in 300 yards"...

And no, I don't believe that Sygic is not informed by nokia when it's ready to appear on the OVI Store, it's you as the company should care the most, so please give as an ETA!
I am very sorry for using uncertain words as "coming soon, close future, upcoming days" and so on, but I'm sure all of us knows how is technique unpredictable and sometimes certain things take longer time to prepare then it's planned. I would like to ensure you if I have exact date I would post it. Now it's in NOKIA hands only.
All we want is to bring the best application to the market
Thank you for understanding!
Have a great weekend!
Katarina.

I think that the hold up is Nokia getting their Ovi store to work properly. According to Sygic they have been asked by Nokia to release it thru the Ovi store. Sygic has submitted it to Nokia 1/14/10 and Nokia has not "approved" it yet. I think that they should bypass the Ovi store and sell direct.

Good free navigation would be one of the strongest gestures in a race for N900 buyers. N900 can win this race over HTC HD2, iPhone and Motorola Droid only if Nokia offers something more, and for a lot of people the key is navigation.
People are very interested in buying N900, but when they realize how crappy navigation we have and that there is no free office package (must have for emails!), they rather look for other phones.
N900 has great potential, but out of the box is without some (these days) crucial features like MMS, office package, turn-by-turn navigation, videocall... That's really, really bad promotion for "a killer" phone.
