Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

[zdeno.]

Sygic repository was disabled! There was plan to use this repository for automatic updates. Because of your stupidity maybe won't.

[jflatt]

Hmmm download complete, just ran the wizard and its completed syncing however even after a reboot there is no links to any application setup on my n900... What gives?

Go to File Manager, then your N900, it should have SetupMobileMaps in the root folder of the internal storage

What was the repo URL?

[R-R]

dont worry you can use the previous maps, I got it working with North American maps..

its working excelent!!!

From which version?

[alexreed88]

installs great. cant seem to load any maps though

so how do we get bug fixes etc then? i hope your not going to to just leave the release as it is?

[d-iivil]

try to turn of position filtering (in settings.ini - PositionFiltering=false). But it can be worse, when you are navigating in the city (between buildings)...
Didn't work. All this did was making the arrow more jerky. Map still comes 50 meters behind, even in walking speed.

[sony123]

I have a few questions and would appreciate if anyone could answer...
1) How does the lane guidance feature work? Could anyone show a screen shot?
2) How would you rate the POI information? Is the POI provided by Navteq or is it a separate thing from the map data? I have this concern because the POI in OVI Map leaves a lot to be desired ....
3) How is the POI integration? Can you dial the phone number directly from Sygic?

An apt repository would be the ideal way to distribute updates, please don't punish customers because of some idiots. Perhaps auto-generated repositories keyed on the licence key could work?

ok, I will create repository, where will be the latest SetupMobileMaps.deb. This will also solve some problems with missing SetupMobileMaps.deb file in downloaded package, simplify installation and everybody will stay up to date.

[lma]

That would be fantastic, thank you! :-)

Interesting. It worked for me and it's now super accurate although the movement is a bit more rough.
It was lagging about 30-50m before. After setting it to false, it's now within 5m. Way it should be.

HI,

I missed some options in my version so I decided to reinstall Sygic,
On their FAQ, Maemo ( sygic.com ) I was told to uninstall and finally I removed allso SetupMobileMaps.deb file. I started allover reinstalling everythin but SetupMobileMaps.deb file doesnt show up. How do I get that file again?

Rgds,

Are they gonna like that @ sygic ... ?

Isnt zdeno. part of Sygic ?

[bockersjv]

I have added a New thread (click here) (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=47846). It has all the tips I gained from this long thread on how to change some defaults on Sygic Maps (full screen etc). I used them all when I installed it this morning.

Hope it helps and many thanks to all the posters here and the Maemo community for you help, it makes the N900 a fantastic device to own.

That would be very usefull, and make updates seamless like other applications.

Is there any way to just have the UK map, i.e. delete all the other maps from the folder - or would that cause a problem ?

you can delete all the others map. But don't delete .mlm and license file.

I got it super smooth and accurate by setting FPS to 16.0, antialiasing to false and position filering to false. Now it's good :)

[canada900]

Hi everyone. Do you guys know if the New US maps include Canada?

Can someone explain what I see on this screen? You get to this screen if you tap on the12 white bars quickly after the app starts. Before you get a GPS signal.

[azz]

Hi everyone. Do you guys know if the New US maps include Canada?

YES...i think...Sygic's website have three option for America map.. USA+CANADA+MEX ; Brazil ; Colombia

TO go check, go here:

[SC00BY]

you can delete all the others map. But don't delete .mlm and license file.

Thanks Zdeno, I copied it all to another folder (so its still on the phone if needed - ie copy & paste back into maps folder).

Now I don't have to keep typing in 'United Kingdom', which was exactly what I was after;)

[Dave999]

will sygic provide any type of support/updates for this sw?

[atunguyd]

Zdeno,

Any news on availability of Australian maps??

Thanks

[Mr. Incredible]

How do I get to this screen when I'm already on the map?

[azz]

thanks azz but the only option is US. Maybe someone who's purchased the US maps can check that? :confused: CANADA MAPS PLEASE!

My mistake...I accidentally select WINDOWS...:confused:

@ Mr. Incredible

Don't you just tab on the signal bar on the lower right of the screen to get to that page? Even in the map, you can still see the signal status. Hope that work for you.

[zehjotkah]

How do I get to this screen when I'm already on the map?

If you've modded Sygic to see all menu entries, you can see that screen by clicking on GPS Status.
How to enable all menu entries? See the thread "How to mod Sygic"

[GID123]

Not sure if this has been answer and sorry if it has, but does this application takes alot of space on the root and will it have to be remove once we get a new firmware update.

[Mr. Incredible]

@azz
This won't work.

Thanks zehjotkah! I have a question to the "radar" thingy. :o

I watched the position of the satellites for a while and noticed something strange. For example satellite no. 2 come from west, flys directly over the center and goes to east. I expected it would dissapear and come from west again after a while. But it "turned" and now it comes from east, flys directly over the center and goes to west. How that?

[jer006]

Another question,

Refering the manual there is an icon where you can adjust the volume in the settings stated as here:
Volume settings:
Set the sound intensity separately for low driving speed and for high speeds. I have not found this icon in the setttings. Anybody knows where I can enter this setting? Sound on/off icon is ok.

[Jaco2k]

Hmmm... now I need to check it while driving, but it seems my external Holux BT236 is MUCH more accurate, which might have an influence while driving.

--edit--

I am, of course, trying to solve the lagging issue - I have a feeling that there is not config settings changes that can help it, but... let's see!

[TA-t3]

@Jaco2k - so you have actually tested that Sygic works when you set the N900 to use an external BT GPS? If so then I'm ready with my CC, Sygic folks :) zehjotkha's videos convinced me about the rest.

- yes, you can expect auto rotate
- it's not possible to set portrait mode when app is launched. But you can enable app screen rotation button in menu.ini or you can set a key for this rotation in keymap.ini file.

Post that Exit fix when you figure it out please!

sorted it ...just navigate to res,skins. then open application file with note pad or a text editor.

Then control and F = find and type in menu.main.exit

it will then search and should come up with 2 instances of the above text. all i did was then copy the first instance and paste further up in the "menu" section and swapped one over to its old place-if that makes sense and then save.

restarted sygic and now have exit button on front page!

infact got carried away and moved several other buttons too..lol

[SygicSupport]

Hi all,

it is a pleasure to follow your discussion!

Apologies to everyone for delaying the release. We had the app ready back in December, but despite fantastic support from Nokia, it proved to be difficult to get the app into Ovi Store.

Few points:

We will extend regional coverage in coming days with new region in every 2 or 3 days.

We will provide free app updates in the future. Please keep your suggestions coming and contribute to the experience of all app users.

Mobile Maps 10 brings optional connected features like real-time traffic and speed camera sharing / crowdsourcing, support for touchscreen gestures, navigation to addresses stored in phone's Contacts, redesigned look and more.

Re fullscreen mode: we only use fullscreen mode on all devices. However, Ovi Store requirement is that it shall be easy for the user to switch to other apps. Implementing toggle buttons is unfortunately not feasible at the moment due to multi-platform core of Mobile Maps. Multi-platform design will help us to get quickly to MeeGo. We are happy that you found a number of ways how get the app running in fulscreen mode :)

Re automatic rotation: the issue is linked to non-fullscreen mode because when rotating the app, we would also need to rotate the taskbar. We are working to fix it.

Re position lag: the key thing here is of course sensitivity of the internal GPS receiver. More accurate position display often results in poor road magnetism. We are looking at ways how to further optimize the performance to the N900's GPS.

Thank you.

Sygic Support.

[dread123]

how about some sort of tutorial on keymapping pls??

Quick question but does Sygic use network positioning at all?

I've noticed that compared to the built in OVI maps it takes much longer to actually find the GPS position - coarse or granular.

I am in the US and have supl.google.com as the network positioning in the devices settings for AGPS and it is enabled.

yes, it should be using AGPS, because this is a function of the N900, not of a specific program.
I've the nokia supl server and it works perfectly. Fix under 5 seconds in my house.

if you have this map files - make dir Maps/ROM paste them there, and make mlm file ROM.mlm and use date from your older version map and remember to paste your license file to Maps folder ;)

In other way. The old Romania maps (the ones working in 7.60) are made by Allview and the ones from 7.71 are made by Navteq. That should be a problem?

To SygicSupport,
I would just like to publicly thank your company for taking the risk to develop your program for an emerging platform such as this and wish great returns on investment. I have a Garmin nuvi 265WT now, but count me 60% sold on the product.

Now, a question: How do map updates work? How much would each one cost?

[ceroberts75]

i believe that map updates are included, if i remember reading that on the sygic website.


as for the 60% sold...

i have had to pay fo rthis 2 times, with no support yet, and an inablility to download thier software on 3 different computers and it has been over 5 hours now at only 49% downloading it to my n900 directly.

:/ i have to admit, i was a bit excited. but know for sure they will be refunding one license if not both regardless of thier refund policy.

I had for the North, Central & South America Regions, only the selection of US. And that appeared well after the end of the working week in Belgrade.

Canada and Mexico are not part of the US, unless Mr. "O" made some changes I'm not aware of. <grin>

I think Sygic is a good, dedicated company, and I would expect the other maps for this part of the world to be available shortly.

Sorry for the rant, but I understand the N900 has been rather frustrating - My 5800XM Euro model is still much better in many ways - but I bought my N900 with open eyes, knowing it was a new, rather than a mature OS.

Yes I just did...

I went to the ZIP file link in the e-mail and with Windows, right clicked upon it and chose to "save target" to my desktop.

I unzipped the archive on the desktop then opened the new folder "SetupSMM_Maemo_USA".

I connected the N900 via USB and chose "Mass storage mode"

Opened the N900 removable storage drive from my desktop computers' file manager and copied the directories found in the unzipped "SetupSMM_Maemo_USA" folder over to the N900.

I also copied over to the N900 the SetupMobileMaps.deb file that I found in the unzipped folder.

Unplugged the N900 and openned its file manager, selected the SetupMobileMaps.deb and rocked on.

The whole think took about 25 minutes.

I went to the Sygic site, registered and logged in and then followed the activation instructions.

I'm now going to find zehjotkah's customization threads. :eek:

I must say how similar the lay-out and menu's appear to Tom-Toms. I'll know shortly what the directory structure looks like and if these similarities end. :)

BTW, has anybody said what format POI's are in and if Sygic provides a converter?

[Aztekker]

I think you want Ov2Upi Translator 2.9.exe, but I haven't quite gotten it to work with the US maps yet.

[YoDude]

I think you want Ov2Upi Translator 2.9.exe, but I haven't quite gotten it to work with the US maps yet.

If that is so then it is Tom-Tom. ;)

When I have sucsesfully installed my personal poi's already in Ov2 format, I will start a new POI thread and provide links to useful tools.

It shouldn't be to hard then to add a new menu item to Sygic on the first menu page that can minimize the sucker from full screen.

[ceroberts75]

still nothing. i cannot right click on the link in the email i was sent.

still will not download. and they didnt respond at all, all day long, accept for my question when i said if it was available for USA i would buy it. o]

Dear Zehjotkah,

I just wanted to thank you for your contributions, and especially the YouTube tutorials for programs on the N900. You are very methodical and attentive to detail. I was considering to wait for the upcoming MeeGo device (upgrade from an aging 5800), but I'm now considering purchasing the N900. Predominant among my concerns had been availability of programs for reading (pdf, word, other) and writing (a Word-like program), and for drawing (your suggestions were great) and image editing (like a mini photoshop, haven't seen anything yet). It seems from your faith in the N900 that programs of these sorts are all available, or will be soon. Is this so?

[StocChr]

Hi,

- do you know if it's possible to deactivate the exit message?
- do you know if it's possible to put the rotate button on first page in main menu?
- do you know if network positioning is necessary for sygic?
- do you know how to add shortkeys ( for example "r"=rotate or "e"=exit ) in the keymap.ini file?

cheers, thanks

Image editing is partly built in (watch my video about the camera and picture app (http://www.youtube.com/zehjotkah#p/u/19/yR7JXpURxhw)) and there is a flash based photoshop clone, which works really good on the N900, a little bit slow, though. You can find it here: http://pixlr.com/app/
Edit: there is also Ansel-A in extras devel. maybe I'm making a video about that program, soon.
By the way, if you like what I'm doing.. I'm running for a seat in the maemo community council (http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Community_Council). You can't vote, because it is required to be a member of this forum for at least 3 month. But maybe other can do ;)
Voting starts on the 23 of march and end on the 30 of march (http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_Council/Council_election_Q1_2010)
And here are the declarations of the candidates. (http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_Council/Candidate_declarations_for_March_2010)

Sorry for a little bit offtopic!

[lma]

it is a pleasure to follow your discussion!


Thanks for coming here and talking about the various issues!

Is there some bug reporting/tracking tool I managed to miss beyond the "We want to hear from you" form on the website? It's fine if that's the preferred option, but I wanted to check since It seems counter-productive to spam you with lots of duplicate reports if that can be avoided :-)

[rpgAmazon]

Thanks Sygic!
Thanks for Mobile Maps 9, thanks for future updates, thanks for Aura (you will release it for N900, or not?), thanks for STOP WAITING FOR OVI STORE, thanks ZDENO and SYGICSUPPORT for being with us...
Meanwhile, Nokia simply ignores you and we.

SYGIC ROCKS! Nokia... well, you know boys... coming soon...

Hmm. Finland map seems to have some issues with towns. Today I tried to navigate into town called "Järvenpää" and Sygic wouldn't find it (title Järvenpää is visible on the map if you browse the map manually by finger, search just won't find it). So I tried to navigate there by inputting Järvenpää's zip code (in this case 04430) and Sygic shows it's being town called "Tuusula" which is wrong. All streets in Järvenpää are found that way (by inputting zip code and selecting the faulty Tuusula as town), but if I then try to navigate to some street in Järvenpää by typing "Tuusula" for town name it won't find those streets.

Weird stuff.

[Rob1n]

If that is so then it is Tom-Tom. ;)

When I have sucsesfully installed my personal poi's already in Ov2 format, I will start a new POI thread and provide links to useful tools.

No, they're UPI format - you need the translator app to convert them from TomTom format (which seems to be the most common). Then just drop them into the relevant country maps folder.

Got Sygic last saturday and i love it! :D

[d-iivil]

not confirmed, works for me... I've a newer version though, don't know if there is something fixed regarding POIs...

Okay, it was because of custom pois I had. After removing the .upi file from Maps/fin/ folder it's working. So the problem is somehow related to users own POIs. I had mine converted from TomTom's pois using the OV2UPI converter.

I've tested it right now with my version... It works.
Don't tested it with the previous version, though.
So if it's really not working in the older version, an update is on its way.

because ovi takes forever...payment system still not working properly...sygic was smart to release this on their own...I don't know how many owners gave in and sold their devices due to the lack of a real nav. software.

[Janos]

Hi,

firstly, thank you very much for Sygic! This is a big step for great N900.

I have some concerns:
Is there coming any routing improvements? Routing is very quick, but in many cases the route is quite weird. And usually A->B route is different than route B->A...

Also I don't like to enter address: Country, city and street. Why I can't just write the street and pick the right one from the list?

And 3rd thing, there should be one additional routing type, like "limited speed", or "caravan", etc for bigger cars (=no U-turn, no small roads and traveling time should be calculated with limited speed).

Br, Janos

[radiowc]

because ovi takes forever...payment system still not working properly...sygic was smart to release this on their own...I don't know how many owners gave in and sold their devices due to the lack of a real nav. software.

Well....kinda smart move for Sygic,... how about if ovi map turn by turn gps now finally available on N900 like the rest of Symbian OS. Then not sure you want to spend additional $$$$ on the gps software since both are Navteq :)

Okay, it was because of custom pois I had. After removing the .upi file from Maps/fin/ folder it's working. So the problem is somehow related to users own POIs. I had mine converted from TomTom's pois using the OV2UPI converter.

I'm not getting the same result exactly with your test case but I installed some custom POIs today and if I try to edit a POI name then Sygic crashes. So something not quite right. I downloaded mine from http://poiplaza.com and selected the Sygic UPI.

[casper27]

@PauloNet
When you download and transfer the files to the N900. Make sure all the directories Drive Res ect are in their own directories and not all in one folder ie One main Sygis folder.
All the directories need to be separate and directly stored on main dir ie MyDocs.

[rpgAmazon]

This morning aprox 50 minutes of perfect gps... then opps, app closes. I reopen Sygic, a few minutes of gps, and then apps closes again.
I repeated this "open-minutes of gps ok-autoclose" sequence about 6-7 times. After that, EVERY TIME Sygic locks the sat, it shut down. I can navigate menus (touching screen BEFORE THE LOCK). When going back to main screen, shut down!
When arrived at home this night... IT'S WORKING AGAIN! Now I'm connected (a-gps) using WIFI, and this morning-evening I used 3G.
(yes, I rebooted, disconected gps, 3g, disabled "a"-gps, deleted setting.dat, reinstalled Sygic from rep, restore the menu.ini and changes in settings.ini... ALL BUT NOTHING FIXED until I arrived home and "voila"...

[shadowjk]

I can't get address search to work.

I tap address, it asks me for country. OK.
Then it asks for city. Hm, the place isn't in a city. I try the name of a nearby village instead. OK.
Street name, ah now I get what I want. I start entering the street name, but I can only enter one letter, which the program ignores, and it then asks me to enter a number.
I enter number on the street I wanted.
It takes me to some random road about 30km from the place..

EDIT:
It works with another answer for the "City" question. It seem this program has a different idea of to which village this place would belong to than I do...

Hm, it seems more complex than that.. So basically out of Country(Municipality(Town(greatervillagearea(villa ge(smallsubvillage(street)))))), where each is a smaller subset of the previous, Country, Municipality and village work for me in the "City" field.
Entering the Municipality name in the "City" fields gets me results from the wrong municipality, but oh well..
EDIT EDIT: it suggests street in right municipality as second option when I click the up/down arrows..

It even gets pretty close to the right address! Maps on N8x0 and Maps on Symbian was always about 200 metres wrong, in their own direction.. It's amazing how hard it's to get such a simple calculation done ok, if address is "Funroad 743", then it means that the location is 7420-7240 metres from the start of the road, and on the left side because it's an odd number, so one should get within 20m with just arithmetic alone, not knowing anything about actual building placements :) Score for sygic here, getting it so close to reality :)


Would be nice to search for a street name in all of the country, and get a list of possible locations where such a street exists :)

Same for me. The address I wanted was of the form:23 Fnordian Villas
Discordian Road
Eristown
Rawchester
But it seems to think I want:23 Discordian Road
Eristown
Rawchester
That's not ideal. I don't really get on with the guy at 23 Discordian Road :)

Honestly. I'm more then sure that OVI Maps won't be ready in PR1.2, simply because Sygic is out now and Nokia is not gonna harm their sales. Besides, nokia's navi is free - the rest is easy to figure out by any of you :)

It was not the instalation location, nor the sygic.desktop definitions. Neither the ini files.

Changing the regional settings from Portuguese/Portugal to English(uk)/UK solved the problem.

Now i would like to ask sygic support to look in to this issue because i would like (and all the portuguese customers) to use my native language in n900.

Thank you All:)

[TA-t3]

Got it activated, but there's a problem:

I use an external Holux Bluetooth GPS. It works perfectly fine with Maemo Mapper and everything I throw at it, in the N900, but Sygic has a problem.
When I click on the GPS section I get the familiar circle which should show the satellite positions, plus the list of satellites which should show signal strength.

The problem is that although Sygic is able to read the _position_ from the GPS just fine (lat/lon is fine, so is GPS clock, and altitude and speed), it doesn't see the signal strength/satellite position information. And then it decides that there is no GPS signal! Is Sygic reading the GPS info in some peculiar way? This was a big disappointment, as I heard others got BT GPS working.

My version appears to be 7.71.7763

EDIT:
Actually, I retract part of the above: Maemo Mapper doesn't see #sats in view, #sats in use etc., but it sees everything else.Unlike Sygic it doesn't choke on that though, it accepts all the other values (position/time/alt/speed/heading). I used the same GPS with Maemo Mapper on the N800, where all those additional details (sats/signal strenght/sats in view) are also visible.

So, the questions become:
1) What on earth is the gpsd interface on the N900 doing, missing that information?
2) Why will not Sygic work with the information it can definitely see, which is position, speed, altitude, heading, time.

You can configure the NMEA data a GPS will send (using command sequences). One of the "sentences" is "GSA" which describes the satellite data that you're missing, and it's probably disabled.

This is a good read:

If you're interested I could post the command string you'd have to send to reenable it.

@SygicSupport
Would you say the Maemo release has been a success sales figure wise? Any early figures/downloads.
Just asking outloud cos we all know better sales figures=better software support+updates.
Great product by the way, it is just what my N900 was lacking. Don't really care now if Nokia bring out Ovi voice nav as this is much better.
Im loving the openess and changable features on this, been able to personalise it is great.

[torsen]

Hi,

firstly, thank you very much for Sygic! This is a big step for great N900.

I have some concerns:
Is there coming any routing improvements? Routing is very quick, but in many cases the route is quite weird. And usually A->B route is different than route B->A...

I have just returned from a interesting ride courtesy of my Sygic satnav. My normal route home (Suffolk) tonight was was blocked up by bad traffic near Ipswich, so I fired up the Sygic and selected an alternative route and ended up on a magcal mystery tour. Even though I have the quickest route option checked in the settings menu it diverted me onto an hour and a half diversion and I had to select an alternative route a couple more times to get the ETA time down. Then towards the end when I was fairly near home and I got myself back onto track by getting onto a main road that passes right by my place, it then kept trying to divert me away from the most direct route by attempting to send me down country lanes going in a completely different direction.

Also last night in North London I had to travel south to Guildford and again it took me on a strange route, in the end I stopped and got my old N95 out of the boot and used the Garmin XT installed on it as I could not afford to be late to my destination.

I'll keep trying it out for now, and if tonights journey is anything to go by at least I'll get to see some new places!

Second day, same issues. So I try to "emulate" my route... and emulation makes Sygic crash too! So no gps-gprs-wifi-related... UPI's!!! Some extra radar upis I've installed makes Sygic crash (after removing them, all route is working right!)
EXCUSE ME, SYGIC TEAM! IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, I'M GUILTY!!! (when I drive near that .upis pois, it crash... and if I'm far enought, all works fine. Sorry!)

You can configure the NMEA data a GPS will send (using command sequences). One of the "sentences" is "GSA" which describes the satellite data that you're missing, and it's probably disabled.[..]


[EDIT: When editing this 'followup' part I seem to have removed my original posting. Which essentially said 'but unless I misunderstand what you're saying, my GPS receiver _does_ send that data, it can't be disabled. Because the same receiver works fine with TomTom and Maemo Mapper on the old N800, where the data is displayed.]

Followup: In addition to the GPS working fine with TomTom, and Maemo Mapper on the N800, I just installled 'gpsjinni' on my N800, and it shows the satellite data just fine. Sow the raw NMEA data looks fine (that's what gpsjinni uses).

So it still looks like the problem is the GPS subsystem in the N900 (gpsd?). It does something funny (like filtering away that data).
[Edit3: D*mn! It works occasionally! I won't go into all the testing I did, with various applications, but it definitely seems to be something very fishy going on with whatever software included in the GPS subsystem of the N900. My receiver is utterly reliable by itself and has worked with everything I've used it for, before this.]

The second problem is of course why Sygic decides there's no signal when that data is missing. The rest (what it actually uses) is there, and works with Maemo Mapper.

Should do. Works for me ok. You need to make sure that you have enabled them in the settings.

speed cams working here make sure they are enabled in settings and also sygic doesnt have the road speeds fr all roads

you can also add your own speed cams and poi

put the upi speed cam file or upi poi file into the map folder that you have speed cams or poi for then enable in poi settings

ive added mobile and red light cams to mine works a charm

How do you cancel your routing after you go into routing mode? I couldn't find any options to stop routing.

I also wish the + and - buttons weren't so close to the exit and dashboard buttons

Why does my N900 keeps asking me if I want to use network to retrieve sattelite when opening Sygic. Is that not possible to avoid?
Sorry if did`nt noticed where to remove this alert.

Thanks

hi mate you need to go to settings, location, then make sure network positioning is ticked on the n900. To be honest though once you have said yes on sygic it should change the setting for you and keep it enabled then shouldnt ask again. But if you dont want to use agps then i suppose you will have to put up with it.

It keep asking because you have "network positioning" ticked ON. If you don't want it to keep asking you, turn it off via setting>location.

I puchases the US maps last week and the app seems to be working great for me.

My one question though is can you purchase additional maps and install them in the application?

I occasionally travel outside of the US so it would be nice to have access to Canadian and UK maps from time to time...

Yes you can. If you have multiple maps, you will be asked when you open the program to select which map to use.

Sygic crashes when trying to switch the keyboard layout on a hardware keyboard by pressing ctrl + space.
At the same time talking on the phone voice instructions suppress the voice of the interlocutor

Hi,

I have tried to use Sygic with and without network positioning. Sometimes it works like in 5 secs to get GPS signal when network positioning is turned on. If I am offline ( no wireless/internet network ) it asks me if I want to get online a couple of times.

If network positioning is turned off It takes much much longer for me to get the GPS signal and it pops up asking me if I want to connect the whole time before I have the GPS signal.

I thought that this statement from Sygic was similar to not agps/internet connection needed:

''With pre-installed maps, it is always with you on your phone, without other hidden costs or data plans, with no additional subscription fee for maps'' but maybe I don`t understand it fully ;)

I guess that others explore the same things?

I have just returned from a interesting ride courtesy of my Sygic satnav. My normal route home (Suffolk) tonight was was blocked up by bad traffic near Ipswich, so I fired up the Sygic and selected an alternative route and ended up on a magcal mystery tour. Even though I have the quickest route option checked in the settings menu it diverted me onto an hour and a half diversion and I had to select an alternative route a couple more times to get the ETA time down. Then towards the end when I was fairly near home and I got myself back onto track by getting onto a main road that passes right by my place, it then kept trying to divert me away from the most direct route by attempting to send me down country lanes going in a completely different direction.

Also last night in North London I had to travel south to Guildford and again it took me on a strange route, in the end I stopped and got my old N95 out of the boot and used the Garmin XT installed on it as I could not afford to be late to my destination.

I'll keep trying it out for now, and if tonights journey is anything to go by at least I'll get to see some new places!

Hi torsen,

can please provide exact starting address and destination address? Feel free to send it as private message or email to support@sygic.com.

Thank you for contributing to Mobile Maps.

[jer006]

Yes you can. If you have multiple maps, you will be asked when you open the program to select which map to use.

Excellent, the only downside of that is the 40EUR + 60EUR required to do that, oh well I think I will wait and hope for Nokia to deliver on Ovi Maps on the N900.

One other question on Sygic though, I find that it takes Sygic a lot longer to get a GPS lock than both Maemo Maps and Ovi Maps on the N900 - it looks like it uses the GPS a little differently...

On both Maemo Maps and Ovi maps I notice that my GPS status first gets a coarse accuracy from the AGPS network connection which then lets the map app get an approx location. Then it narrows in and goes to fine accuracy and the map application narrows in on my specific location.

Now when I use Sygic, the GPS status just shows searching for 30seconds to a minute before it finds my location and zooms in on the phone. If I am inside a building however it can take longer which is frustrating. I have AGPS turned on and it is set to supl.google.com which I find to be very fast, but it does not seem to use the coarse accuracy from the Cell tower location.

Is anyone else seeing this or is there a setting in sygic itself that I am missing here? Is there a way to make Sygic start with coarse accuracy for a GPS fix?

[Ronaldo]

when can we expect an update for the app? would really like postcode with door number search and auto rotate .

cheers

[shadowjk]

I'm guessing sygic maps asks the Location subsystem for AGNSS fix, which doesn't give network positioning, only (a)gps. I tried setting, on n900, settings - internet connection to always ask, and settings - location I disabled network positioning. I got no prompts asking to connect to internet, but I did get one asking wheter to enable network positioning, which I rejected.

[Gheorghe]

I'm using the North American version. While the Sygic is a very well made gps program and its overall use is close to exceptional, I find the lack of POI especially near big cities such as New York or Los Angeles to be very discouraging. I'm comparing it probably too much with google maps that I've used extensively prior to N900.

Do I need to add additional POI's or was the installation not completed somehow?
Here's the information based on:
I'm trying to locate a Borders store nearby:
Touch Map - Navigate to... - Point of Interest - Near my position - Show All - Any - POI: "Borders" // and the result is "Sorry, there is no Any in this area."

[meme]

Sygic has Norht America (both US and Canada maps) or just US Maps? Last time I checked they only had US maps. I need North American maps.

I'm using it too in the US. This I think is a prefetch bug. There are many map folders for the US, Sygic breaks the country down and ID's POI's by region apparently. The region I am in is the Philadelphia Metro Region. For faster searches it must load just the POI's for the region you are currently located. I have seen what you describe when I search for a POI outside my region. However, the POI's are still there.

When I go to "browse map", zoom out, and move the cursor to any part of the country: If I tap the menu button and select "Find nearby POI" It does return all nearby POI's. A search for "Borders" in Oklahoma City took about 15 seconds, but it gave me the Borders on the Northwest expressway there.

Does anyobe know which directory from the European Maps contains maps for Switzerland? I'm off to Zurich on Monday afternoon, and it woukd be nice to have the maps loaded.

I haven't used the PC install tool, but downloaded the distribution for direct installaltion and have just copied over to the N900 the few countries I'm interested in.

Thanks in advance, Simon.

Edit: I managed to find out the answer myself. Swiss maps are in the 'che' directory.

I am a bit confused - you guys said months ago that the application was ready and had been submitted to Nokia already for the OVI store and you were waiting on Nokia.

Surely if this was true then all paperwork around maps was also done months ago too?

Gotta love marketing talk :)

[x61]

Is there a way to search for "places" in Sygic rather than by "address"? Is this possible at all?

[andraeseus1]

I am in Philly TOO!!! i didnt know any other n900's were floating around here. thats awesome!!!

[torres76]

I have tried everything with this very bad software to get a good position and smooth arrow even the instructions are wrong, It's telling me to keep right and turn left on a straight road.
All that sygic have told me is that the gps in my n900 is weak and its not the fault of the software i asked for a refund but ha ha no chance so will have too go through card company instead. I can't believe how bad this software is, using ovi maps on my phone is nearly exact maybe no more than 2 metres out but it uses the same gps as sygic in my phone.
Also sygic said they havn't heard of any other problems with the n900 and only one person with an iphone has reported a problem yeah right !!!!!

i will now try and change the ram from 10 to 15 thanks ronaldo shame sygic support arn't as helpful as everyone on here.

i'v used this alot and also done tests, for me after doing some settings mod to get the position right its working great for me. quick lock and seems to know where i am.

Map updates yes. Application updates, I'm not so sure. I think they said yes (to 10, currently this is 9). But not for Aura (since it's a different map application focused more on social aspects I think)

As for repo and map updates. No it does not add a repo for software and map updates, I guess they plan on distributing it the old fashion way (download from their website). Or maybe through the Ovi repo if Nokia ever fixes the problems associated with the Ovi store.

[stantheboss]

First to answer the question from the other thread. They're looking into lower the volume of the music from the media player and not pause it. But that isn't so easy.

I'm quoting:

Sygic is using pulseadio to playing sounds, and I think, there is possibility to play only one sound at time - you request permissions for playing (what means stop playing other sounds), then you play sound, then you release permissions (other sounds may play).
But as I said, sound playing will be redesign, someday...

What does that mean? Sygic is using pulseaudio to play the sounds, like the mediaplayer. With pulseaudio it isn't possible to play two sounds at one time. (If anyone have a idea, you're VERY welcome). You can test it by open lets say glTron and then open the mediaplayer. Sound from glTron will stop as soon as your music starts. After that test the same thing with glTron and SuperTux. There it is possible because they're using a different system, afaik.

The update should come really soon. The programmer is currently waiting to get the approval to put the new version into the repository.
Therefore I have to correct myself. The repository provided in this thread is meant for updates.

Have fun!

[Gheorghe]

I think it is possible, it's just Nokia's implementation doesn't allow for it. I believe that's one of PulseAudio's benefits over ALSA. Though I'm afraid I can't help since I don't know much about PA or ALSA (just what I've read).

depend on what you're looking for, each app has their own advantages and diadvantages....ovi map is great with data but still not as good if you need REAL navigation....took a wrong turn while using ovi map once and it was damn near impossible to ovi to reroute...too a lot of restraining to not toss my phone out the freeway....

Sygic had some minor issues for me but after some modding, it works great now....it completes my phone....:D

[Laughing Man]

Yesterday:
This morning aprox 50 minutes of perfect gps... then opps, app closes. I reopen Sygic, a few minutes of gps, and then apps closes again.
I repeated this "open-minutes of gps ok-autoclose" sequence about 6-7 times. After that, EVERY TIME Sygic locks the sat, it shut down. I can navigate menus (touching screen BEFORE THE LOCK). When going back to main screen, shut down!
When arrived at home this night... IT'S WORKING AGAIN! Now I'm connected (a-gps) using WIFI, and this morning-evening I used 3G.
(yes, I rebooted, disconected gps, 3g, disabled "a"-gps, deleted setting.dat, reinstalled Sygic from rep, restore the menu.ini and changes in settings.ini... ALL BUT NOTHING FIXED until I arrived home and "voila"...
Today:
Second day, same issues. So I try to "emulate" my route... and emulation makes Sygic crash too! So no gps-gprs-wifi-related... UPI's!!! Some extra radar upis I've installed makes Sygic crash (after removing them, all route is working right!)
EXCUSE ME, SYGIC TEAM! IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, I'M GUILTY!!! (when I drive near that .upis pois, it crash... and if I'm far enought, all works fine. Sorry!)

Have you figured out why that UPI made it crash? It's happening to me too so I figured maybe we could find something common.

[flydeep]

In the US, my attempts with Sygic have just been okay. I will use it for emergencies but not as a replacement for a gps unit. For starters, the routing algo isn't good. I do not get an option to chose which route (the only way is to go to options and change your hwy/street preferences) I want to take and default one 'sometimes' coincides with the best suggested route of google maps (that's my reference since I have used it many many times and works almost perfectly balancing highway and local roads).

Sygic has to work on their routing algo and also with more user options. Currently there is no way to integrate online search with inbuilt maps. That's what a data enabled gps unit should be progressing toward and not as a replacement for a dumb gps unit.

[nokian-series]

No, i'm only using the GPS to get the signal, dont want to spend € on GPRS connection (ok, if i need the GPRS to get he GPS locked and then i can turn it off..)

So..it a trick or..?
How is the best way to use Sygic only with GPS, but not have to wait ' 2 days' to GPS locks?

Really Thanks.

[Netweaver]

after installing the 7.71.1 version all settings need to be re-entered and all mods re-applied (if need be)

I can't judge the routing quality improvement (if any) nor the GPS tracking/lag improvements as the only thing here moving is my mouse and my hands on my keyboard.
Auto rotation DOES works fine.

No further/new user definable settings I can find/notice in the menus.

Anyone more observations ?

[chill633]

Routing is still odd with me.

I use it daily to get a route from home to the train station, 35 miles away, mostly by Interstate highway. Sygic will pick a different exit and different side roads almost randomly. I've yet to have the exact same route over the last week.

Oh, and NONE of the have been the most optimal either as fastest are least complex. Close, but no cigar.

I believed this was addressed earlier in this thread. But I'll post the answer again (though please search the forum next time). Traffic updates will be coming in Mobile Maps 10. Anyone who bought Mobile Maps 9 will be receiving a free upgrade to Mobile Maps 10.

And just to bring it up again if anyone else asks. Mobile Maps 10 =/= Aura. If Sygic brings Aura to the Maemo/Meego platform you will have to buy Aura seperately. Aura is apparantly some social networking thing combined with GPS.
