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

I'll give it a try today at some point in the evening, my N95 8GB has route66 and it hardly ever loses tracking, I've been very very impressed with route66.

Hopefully the N900 h/w will at least be better than the N95 8GB - anyone know where the N900 GPS is located in the device? And what make/model the GPS chipset is?

Does closing the keypad mean the GPS antenna gets covered like the N95 8GB?

I've just bought this from ebay:

And will be using the device in landscape mode like a GPS, can't wait!

I had the same problem and its fixed it by placing the application files in the 'MyDocs' dir:

It would be nice if somehow we can specify the data files path somewhere.

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

Great program, unfortunately its been pirated already! :(

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

you could always symlink your files ;)

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

You mean the maemo version?Already?

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

such is life mate..it was bound to happen. it was around since late last night..yes the maemo version

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

I've not seen it. But probably Sygic for maemo is using the same generating method as the others...
Can we please stop now to talk aout the pirated version?

I was amazed how much more functions Sygic get when you delete or rename the menu.ini.
Why are these functions originally disabled?

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

It would be nice to be able to add favorites while browsing the map instead of going through "navigate to" -function.

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

I've copied Drive, Maps and Res from the root of my SD card to the root of the internal memory. The app starts and I get as far as entering my product code (I've been sent two, tried both) - but after I press enter after typing the code in it hangs for a while and then disappears. This is using the "Automatic" registration. I am beginning to dispair.

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

I don't think. MyDocs is fat partition, symlink will not work, but if you want to customize the paths, take a look on sygic.desktop file and settings.ini file.

Something I found using Google: - maybe helpful ...

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

How about using the old maps database? Has anyone who bought tried that? US maps for example?:confused:

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

are you sure, you have internet connection? If it still won't work, try manual activation and getting activation code from sygic.com website.

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

Is there a trial version I can try for Continental US?
On their website I see EU only.

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

I think the map files are the same as the symbian version maps! they are .pak and .mlm files!...........I`ll try to load a customize Cyprus map from the symbian version and see if it works

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

You need to edit the .mlm files afaik.

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

I am coming to the conclusion that it has activated successfully and something else is causing the problems. I am talking to Sygic about it. Several times people have mentioned installing to the internal drive. I have taken this to mean "take out the SD card and install" - is there a less physical way of doing this?

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

yes you are correct....I`ll take a dive on this

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

Manually registered - and it now seems to be working (although I can't see a map yet, probably because I'm inside a building) - not overly impressed by the way it handles exceptions - a few useful error messages would have helped!

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

Thanks... for this.. great...

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

Give a email to support - for me was the same - give the email to support otherwise your balanced will be charged 2 times :p;)

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

US map are tested, will be available in a few days

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

WOW!!!
As I have been testing the software for Sygic I emailed them yesterday and asked if I could have a discount for my feedback.

I just received the email and thought, "oh well, 10% is better than nothing". I headed for the Sygic store and duly entered my code to get my 10% discount and when I recalculated the order it took off 100%.

I then went back to my email so that I could contact them and tell them there was an error with the code that they have sent me as it was giving 100% instead of 10% and then I reread the email: 100% discount.

Wow, I was absolutely floored. :)

I really didn't expect that but all I can say is that they really are trying to be customer focused.

Nokia! take note! You can learn a lot from Sygic.

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

The new manual shows the GPS antenna to be under the secondary camera, P98. Possibly it would be more efficient with the keyboard open?

On a separate note, it's a bit of a bummer that, in the new manual, Nokia anticipate the secondary camera to be used in landscape mode only for VoIP video chat, which is pretty contrary to established video call usage.

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

Someone convicnce them to let users have a months free trial maybe!!

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

YESYESYES!!!!

I can confirm!.............the maps that you have for the sygic Symbian version works in the maemo version as well!

You only have to activate the .mlm file ( I don`t say how)....I now have a customize CYPRUS map loaded and working!

Next is to mod the speed camera settings so that I can hear the guy saying the speedlimit rather than beeping!

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

anyone tried already to get it running on a n8x0????
maybe I should try it today...
but maybe I'm getting a N97 today, so I have to do a comparison video (n900 vs n97).
and I have to learn for a test tomorrow... okay let's forget this learning thing...

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

any way to go full screen without ssh editing file from pc? iv been testing it today and works well. they should have done option for it

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

My usual way:
1.) in terminal: copy file to e.g. Docs or /media/mmc1
2.) connect N900 in mass storage-mode
3.) edit file with e.g. pspad or notepad2
4.) copy it back to the original place (before make a backup of the old file)

For me, it's working ...

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

hey guys, i wonder if someone could tell me, can you search with sygic maps if you only know the adress not the city/town.. like for example, i'm looking for fleet street but i don't know is it in London or in Manchester etc.

ty!

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

i normally ssh into phone via wifi from pc and goto file and edit but im on the road now so looks like ill have to do it wen i get home

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

hmm.. weird.. If I start navigation by entering a town where I live and then try to enter the address of my home, it won't find that address.. infact it finds only FOUR streets in my hometown (it's not really that small town) BUT if start navigatin by entering my postal number and then my home street, it finds my address.. and all the streets in my hometown..

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

Install leafpad, xterm to sygic.desktop and add -rfull to the command line parameter (i.e. add -rfull to the end of the Exce line)

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

I looked through the video which was posted (very nice!), however it didn't dive into the 'settings' menu..

Could someone please check if it is possible to configure it to use an external BlueTooth GPS? This is a go/nogo for me..

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

not yet, maybe in future, but I can't promise.

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

Ah, ok. I'll wait then. The built-in GPS is rubbish, and requires you to be online to get proper lock (A-GPS). I only use satnav systems in areas where that's not an option.

Credit card ready, but won't buy until that's fixed! :D

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

the n900 does have this function built in.

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

Sygic is Avalible for the N900 (only Europe)


http://www.sygic.com/index.php/en/ho....html?os=Maemo

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

Aha, so you mean if I configure this in the N900 settings Sygic will happily use it? It's not accessing the GPS directly? It sounds right, so I hope this is how it works.

Any of you Sygic-buyers own a BT GPS, by any chance? If you would test this I would be thankful! :)

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

I`m pretty sure that it will work....I have my old one in the car but I`m too tired to walk down 3 floors to check it :)
