The main thing stopping us from just taking a geolocation aware browser and using Google Maps is the constant polling will result in a temporary block from Google Maps. Otherwise geolocation support + Google Maps + constant refreshing + something to vocalize the directions [e.g. gmap to gpx + flite] is pretty darn close.

Well, we shall see if this app uses all that Fremantle has to offer or is just a "pound to fit and paint to match" port.
But we have a fully working and somewhat established gps navigation solution available on our devices. Cool!

I'm choosing between the N900 and either HD2 or neoTouch200 WM mobile based systems(sorry). One of the things that held me back in relation to the N900 was the lack of a good GPS app that doesn't require 3G connection. I am very pleased Sygic has released this app, and that it's so soon after the N900 announcement. Excellent. Having read a few reviews on line Sygic seems to function even better than e g Garmin XT in certain regions. Very encouraging.

I always liked Sygic on my N82, hope this version turns out to be just as good. Good to see the N900 getting commercial support.

Nothing can beat Google LIVE traffic update, satellite image layer, street layer, and STREET NAMES announcement.....EVEN TOM TOM don't have street name announce?? That's not good.

For most serious GPS nav users, the Google nav is a non-starter for that reason.
