Massive lack of POI's is my main problem, dont know if its just the UK but it lacks so many things, ie there is a cash machine half a mile from my house, it says the closest 1 is 20 miles away, there is probably 20 in that radius!

really hope they improove this in the update
Around here I always get routed through walk-only roads, one-way streets, proprietary, closed roads etc. This is with TomTom, and now Sygic. It's all down to the map sources, namely the local authorities who made the maps and sold them to Teleatlas and others.
It's not the fault of the navigation software: The maps are bad and can't be fixed by the software vendors. However, what they can do is to be good at re-routing. So that's what I look for when I validate navigation software: What happens when I ignore its routing suggestion and takes another path? TomTom: Good: Sygic: Haven't tested enough yet. A certain system that shall go unnamed but which rightly so includes 'lost' as part of its name: Horrible.

hi,
Sygic turns off gps after 1 minute on the background to save energy and battery (one of the requirements for Ovi store). It will be probably changed in next update...
That way I could put the N900 in my pocket and hear the turn-by-turn audio with the bluetooth headset.
Is there any workaround for this?

the music still plays when you do that, i would guess that it should still navigate.

I agree it's useful to navigate with the screen off. That's usually how I navigate with TomTom, I don't even have the device in visible range, I just listen to Jane.

I wiish that Sygic maps didn't break Panucci playback using a bluetooth headset for audio output. As soon as Maps gives a voice guidance message, Panucci stops playing. I appreciate that this may not be entirely Sygic's fault, but it sucks nonetheless.

Hey, just because your experience hasn't been good you don't have to rubbish the sygic app. Myself and many others are happily using this and are grateful for it.

Well.. I overclocked my N900 to 900MHz and now Sygic is running very smoothly with these settings:
fps=20.0
antialias=false
PositionFiltering=false
Before overclocking the maximum FPS value was 16.0 and if I tried to increase it I faced some lagging and jerking when map moved. Now there's no lagging or jerking with 20.0 fps and it looks really smooth while driving

a coupl eissues i have been having.
Sygic doesnt announce the name of the street or road to take action on. it just says "turn left in 200 meters" then as i approach the turn it says "turn left" this is fine if i kinda know my way around but what if i don't? by the time sygic tells me to turn it is too late and i have already missed the turn. besides i dont know how long 200 meters is. It should say something like "turn left on such n such st" why cant we get it to say the street names for every action?
also, it gives 200 meters as a refference point for different distances. according to sygic sometimes 200 meters is a half a city block away and some times its about two house lenghts
also, it lags. the voice is always right on the money but the actual visual is laggy. after i make the turn it takes a while for sygic to show that maneuver on the screen of the phone
takes a long time to re-rout after i have missed a turn (usually due to sygic telling me to turn at the last minute but not telling me which street to turn on) thats all i have for now
