Now that the soft is out, maybe we should start a fresh topic for those of us who use it. The other one is so big now !


Aight, first tryout this afternoon, and i 've encountered a few issues :

The gps fix is lost from time to time, in the open air...weird.

I've got a yellow banner that says "unable to connect to one or more services"

i guess it's the gsm phone localization that fails... thus losing my fix.

Anyone has this ?

And, indeed, like previously said, the position lags 30m behind, and i actually missed a turn.

Couldnt the soft compensate this by guessing our position is 50 m ahead on the correct route (the one that has been calculated) ?
Or maybe just increase the minimum distance to a turn for the gps to actually indicate it...

oh wait... i hear you coming its not open source, right?...

ah and another one :
the fm transmitter works, i'm using fmtx + boost to 118.

i can hear the "beeps" that indicates that the FMTX is on, but if the gps doesnt make a sound for 15 seconds, FMTX turns off automatically.

Anyone experienced this ?
How coud we solve that ?
maybe prevent th FMTX to auto close ?

From a leaked PR1.2 User Guide:

Page 100
Plan routes
You can create walking or driving routes, view them on the
map, and get turn-by-turn directions

It looks like PR1.2 will have Sygic maps finally...

The map on N900 has always had this function. Just input a route and click on the directions tab. Its voice navigation turn by turn we want which is not going to be in the up coming release.

Hey peoples out there.
Been testoring the sygic a bit more this afternoon.
I saved my adress as "home", and after exiting the program, and launching it again, when i tell the gps to drive me home it says "
home is not defined, yet, would you like to do this now ?" i say yes, and give my home adress again.
but after another restart, my "home" wont get saved
i have to enter it again and again...

Have u guys tried this ?
How is it going on your side ?
thx

Quick way around the quiet 'voice', but it's a bit clumsy.

Record silence, get it to repeat play, turn on FM transmitter and use Sygic through your vehicle radio. FM transmitter does work on it's own but as already mentioned cuts out after a few seconds thus missing all but the last syllable of any instruction.

I cannot use any language when selecting a city - Navigate to... > Address. Works OK when looking for Navigate to... > Zip Code -> Country
