thanks....

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

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?

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

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

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

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.

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

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]

only took them 5 mintues that time.

then i went on and paid for it, and couldnt get help. have to wait until next week i guess.

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

Might want to factor in Sleep and Weekends into your assessments...

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

everytime we launch a new peoduct or update, we always have extra customer service available for at least a couple of days.

sygic autoconnect to the 3G connection when its started, havent found any setting to change this. any ideas?

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

Its in the N900 settings. In Location.
Turn off Network Positioning.

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

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?

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

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

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

Hi Dayyan!

Thanks for your kind words!

PDF reading support is built in. Works great!
For writing you can use OpenOffice. Here is a great thread about it, which shows, that there are happy users: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=575448
Image editing is partly built in (watch my video about the camera and picture app) 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 . 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
And here are the declarations of the candidates.

Sorry for a little bit offtopic!

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

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 :-)

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

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...

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

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.

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

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.

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

I bought 2 days ago the app. Several instalations and reboots. Always crash after start. Going crazy...:confused:

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

You have to install it on 32Gb Memory and not on SD as initially stated by Sygic

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

I dont have any sd card so i am installing it on the 32gb memory. Thats why i am so:confused:...

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

You don't have to. You can install it to any directory you wish as far as you invoke it with the '-cwd' parmeter.

I've installed it to the SD card and simply use '-cwd=/media/mmc1/Drive/Maemo' in sygic.desktop

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

where do i use that command?

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

You have to edit /usr/share/applications/hildon/sygic.desktop

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

they sent me an email back today, said to use firefox.

trying it now. seems to be downloading.


thier site is slow, but at least it looks to be working.

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

What do you have versions of the maps?
So my tastes are not up to date ..
My region is not present ..

Can loads newer maps???

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

Is it me or when i search via postcode , i cannot input door number when i route.

i had trouble finding place yesterday because i could not set door number....

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

had the same also..thought it was me???

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

This app has some interesting features!

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

Ok. Changed the settings. Installed an SD Card and installed all the folders. Surprise... No. Same crash after start:confused:

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

check Drive/Maemo folder, if there is settings.ini file and remove settings.dat file. Check Res foder, if there are all files as in downloaded package. Path in sygic.desktop must be without slash in the end.

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

It seems that during startup it always asks for the country that you want to use - is it possible to make it to default for some country?

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

try to close app via Exit button in menu, not via the X.

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

Can someone confirm app crashing in following situation:
- Homescreen => navigate to => POI => POI in city => country => some city => show all => show all (or something like that, don't know in english)

It loads the list for a second and then app shuts down.

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

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

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

Got Sygic last saturday and i love it! :D

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

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.

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

Done all that... Still the same... Going :mad:
