Sygic gets its GPS data through the GPS subsystem on the N900 (which I guess is a version of gpsd, the gps daemon). Thus you could also switch to an external Bluetooth GPS by changing the setting in the control panel. That comes with its own set of problems though, basically the software on the N900 does a poor job with the NMEA data so that not all the info comes through all the time, and that combined with Sygic wanting all the data (not just position, speed and altitude) all the time can be problematic.

Step-By-Step Directions:

Make sure to install rootsh from the Application Manager.

Download this attachment to your N900, do not put it into any folder, so that you can see it in your file manager (/home/user/MyDocs/)

Open XTerminal

Type:

Code:

sudo gainroot

cd /home/user/MyDocs/

mv tracker.cfg.txt /home/user/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg

exit

Then restart your phone.

Open up XTerminal again,

then type:

Code:

sudo gainroot

tracker-processes -r

exit

Restart your phone again, and start Media Player. Those annoying sound files should be gone!

For those people who are curious about what I did, this is the line i added to the file /home/user/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg

Code:

# List of directory roots NOT to index and NOT to watch (separator=;)
NoWatchDirectory=$HOME/MyDocs/core-dumps/;$HOME/MyDocs/cities/;$HOME/MyDocs/.sounds/Ringtones/;$HOME/MyDocs/tmp/;/media/mmc1/tmp/;/media/mmc1/cities/;$HOME/MyDocs/Res/;

Have fun!

Checking the 'Accuracy' stat on the GPS status page in Sygic shows on average an 11yd accuracy using the LD-3W and 25-35yd accuracy using the internal unit.
