So I think that we will see Sygic GPS software very soon.

I've asked the same question if Sygic was based on Qt 4.6 in this same thread, no answer yet... If it is indeed based on Qt 4.6 all the propaganda about the software being ready a long time ago, just waiting for Ovi Store, was just BS.

you're not the only one. I expected to at least have something usable.

I still keep my n95 in my car with garmin xt installed. using google maps and/or ovi maps for any kind of navigation is absolutely terrible while behind the wheel (I pull over for like 5 mins to fight with my phone and data connection).

sygic's software should be included in pr 1.2 after all this waitng. but i don't think nokia share my view on this :)

same here...I almost threw my n900 out the window on the hiway when trying to navigate...I learned my lesson...I use my n82 whenever I need navigation....still hoping sygic will come out eventually so I can put my n82 to rest after years of abuse....:cool:

If it's true, then why would they assure us that the software was ready by the end of 2009. I honestly don't believe in their stupidity not to know that N900 has not been even ready for QT4.6 and by the time they said those words no one ever knew it will be released along with PR1.2...hah?

Hell, I'm so pissed right now & I guess I'm done waiting, if PR1.2 will bring nothing but the bugs freakin' fixes again, I'm gonna sell this brick just for the sake of staying mentally stable:eek:

And yes, I'm fully aware that I won't find a device on the market that has all the pros of N900, but I won't stick to it either when there's still so much to be done...

I feel your pain Stan :D

I rarely use sat nav but it is precisely for that reason that it is so convenient to have it on my phone. The N900 was proving, at last, to be a device that was to replace my media players. SAT NAV and Garmin cycle mapping computer.

With the media player and sound quality of the N900 suprising me (although the interface could do with a tidy) and eCoach taking on my mapping, it is only the sat nav that is missing.

Hawking atound my N95 and its garmin just for that is just not practical.

This has therefore led to the nightmare scenario of having to wind my window down and ask for directions. As a man that is a very painful exercise :D

I love my N900 but the potential of the device is even more exciting, I just wish I had confidence that its potential will be realised one day.

so ovi store is up and running(with some kind of payment solution), now we only waiting for Qt 4.6 before release?

My thoughts are that Sygic is not based on QT4.6 unless they have rewritten the whole app which was tested and ready for N900 QT4.5 at the beginning of 2010.
