Fullscreen-mode:
open X-Terminal and type in the following:
move cursor with arrow buttons.
click button "a" for editing mode.
change
to
click Esc on screen for quit editing mode
type in
and hit enter to save

Next enable all menu entries (and therefore the portrait mode) and disable the warning.

Connect your N900 with PC.
Open the 32GB memory (for example G: )
Change to this directory:rename menu.ini for example to menuold.ini.
save and close

open settings.ini.
search for and change it to Attention! There are two lines, both have to end with =false.
save end close

You are my hero over here

Re: How to mod Sygic
 

Why do you need to connect the phone to a PC to edit the settings.ini file?
It's right there in /home/user/MyDocs/Drive/Maemo, you can edit it using leafpad or vi, you can also easily make a backup of it using the cp command. Why this craziness?

Hopefully they'll release north american maps in no time ...

because it's easier for the average user.
Users who know how to edit it with vi don't need my how-to...
The first thing I'm editing with vi, because it's more difficult to get access to these file with your PC than editing with vi.

you can use the maps from the symbian version, but please discuss here only the Sygic mods (there are far more things to mod, like map-color and so on) and use the other thread for non-mod related questions.

How do you change the voices with different one (like TomTom can change to 'celebrity' voices) I prefer a female english speaking voice to the male speaking voice

Re: How to mod Sygic
 

There is a Sygic Voice Packager, which can be used to record own voices.

Has anyone been able to set higher volume? The device can do better... Maybe sygic cannot use highest volume somehow... And fm transmitter isn't the answer for this.
