Is it possible to buy global map coverage ? Do I have to buy each region individually ?

I am interested in North America + Western Europe.

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

Yesterday:
This morning aprox 50 minutes of perfect gps... then opps, app closes. I reopen Sygic, a few minutes of gps, and then apps closes again.
I repeated this "open-minutes of gps ok-autoclose" sequence about 6-7 times. After that, EVERY TIME Sygic locks the sat, it shut down. I can navigate menus (touching screen BEFORE THE LOCK). When going back to main screen, shut down!
When arrived at home this night... IT'S WORKING AGAIN! Now I'm connected (a-gps) using WIFI, and this morning-evening I used 3G.
(yes, I rebooted, disconected gps, 3g, disabled "a"-gps, deleted setting.dat, reinstalled Sygic from rep, restore the menu.ini and changes in settings.ini... ALL BUT NOTHING FIXED until I arrived home and "voila"...
Today:
Second day, same issues. So I try to "emulate" my route... and emulation makes Sygic crash too! So no gps-gprs-wifi-related... UPI's!!! Some extra radar upis I've installed makes Sygic crash (after removing them, all route is working right!)
EXCUSE ME, SYGIC TEAM! IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, I'M GUILTY!!! (when I drive near that .upis pois, it crash... and if I'm far enought, all works fine. Sorry!)

Now you can change your regional settings to Portugal. It crashed only on first launch of app and probably only for Portugal

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

what about India? ny idea when can we expect tat to come?

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

Hi Mandor,

our pricing options are a bit limited in a way that we have to follow the pricing scheme of the map provider. Single price point for global coverage is unfortunately not available. We will keep you posted in case there will be news on this topic.

Kind regards,

Any chance maps for South Africa will be added?

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

[EDIT: When editing this 'followup' part I seem to have removed my original posting. Which essentially said 'but unless I misunderstand what you're saying, my GPS receiver _does_ send that data, it can't be disabled. Because the same receiver works fine with TomTom and Maemo Mapper on the old N800, where the data is displayed.]

Followup: In addition to the GPS working fine with TomTom, and Maemo Mapper on the N800, I just installled 'gpsjinni' on my N800, and it shows the satellite data just fine. Sow the raw NMEA data looks fine (that's what gpsjinni uses).

So it still looks like the problem is the GPS subsystem in the N900 (gpsd?). It does something funny (like filtering away that data).
[Edit3: D*mn! It works occasionally! I won't go into all the testing I did, with various applications, but it definitely seems to be something very fishy going on with whatever software included in the GPS subsystem of the N900. My receiver is utterly reliable by itself and has worked with everything I've used it for, before this.]

The second problem is of course why Sygic decides there's no signal when that data is missing. The rest (what it actually uses) is there, and works with Maemo Mapper.

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

Has anyone got the speedlimit warnings/showing current speedlimit to work? For me it doesnt appear at all same goes for speedcamera warnings...

Does it even work at all?

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

Should do. Works for me ok. You need to make sure that you have enabled them in the settings.

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

If anyone else from Malta is interested in Sygic I received this e-mail from Sygic. I am putting this attached don't know if it's gonna work never really used attachments here ;p

Probably this is better

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

Just found out that the sensetivity of the N900 GPS isn't the best.
But it seems a bit better than the N95 but not that much.

good place for sygic poi

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

speed cams working here make sure they are enabled in settings and also sygic doesnt have the road speeds fr all roads

you can also add your own speed cams and poi

put the upi speed cam file or upi poi file into the map folder that you have speed cams or poi for then enable in poi settings

ive added mobile and red light cams to mine works a charm

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

Thanks for the advice will give it a go with the poi's
--
Would be lovely if there was a way to add the speedlimits of the roads manually somehow.

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

Hi all,

I have been browsing a lot of posts but did not found any.


Why does my N900 keeps asking me if I want to use network to retrieve sattelite when opening Sygic. Is that not possible to avoid?
Sorry if did`nt noticed where to remove this alert.

Thanks

Firefox worked for me. No problems at all. With IE8 it never started the download.

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

just bought the Canadian maps. First test run was fine.

How do you cancel your routing after you go into routing mode? I couldn't find any options to stop routing.

I also wish the + and - buttons weren't so close to the exit and dashboard buttons

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

Click on "Route" on the main menu and then there is a cancel route option.

This is not a problem if you run in full screen mode, se the "How to Mod Sygic" thread for details :)

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

hi mate you need to go to settings, location, then make sure network positioning is ticked on the n900. To be honest though once you have said yes on sygic it should change the setting for you and keep it enabled then shouldnt ask again. But if you dont want to use agps then i suppose you will have to put up with it.

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

It keep asking because you have "network positioning" ticked ON. If you don't want it to keep asking you, turn it off via setting>location.

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

I puchases the US maps last week and the app seems to be working great for me.

My one question though is can you purchase additional maps and install them in the application?

I occasionally travel outside of the US so it would be nice to have access to Canadian and UK maps from time to time...

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

Yes you can. If you have multiple maps, you will be asked when you open the program to select which map to use.

Sygic crashes when trying to switch the keyboard layout on a hardware keyboard by pressing ctrl + space.
At the same time talking on the phone voice instructions suppress the voice of the interlocutor

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

Hi,

I have tried to use Sygic with and without network positioning. Sometimes it works like in 5 secs to get GPS signal when network positioning is turned on. If I am offline ( no wireless/internet network ) it asks me if I want to get online a couple of times.

If network positioning is turned off It takes much much longer for me to get the GPS signal and it pops up asking me if I want to connect the whole time before I have the GPS signal.

I thought that this statement from Sygic was similar to not agps/internet connection needed:

''With pre-installed maps, it is always with you on your phone, without other hidden costs or data plans, with no additional subscription fee for maps'' but maybe I don`t understand it fully ;)

I guess that others explore the same things?

Hi torsen,

can please provide exact starting address and destination address? Feel free to send it as private message or email to support@sygic.com.

Thank you for contributing to Mobile Maps.

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

Excellent, the only downside of that is the 40EUR + 60EUR required to do that, oh well I think I will wait and hope for Nokia to deliver on Ovi Maps on the N900.

One other question on Sygic though, I find that it takes Sygic a lot longer to get a GPS lock than both Maemo Maps and Ovi Maps on the N900 - it looks like it uses the GPS a little differently...

On both Maemo Maps and Ovi maps I notice that my GPS status first gets a coarse accuracy from the AGPS network connection which then lets the map app get an approx location. Then it narrows in and goes to fine accuracy and the map application narrows in on my specific location.

Now when I use Sygic, the GPS status just shows searching for 30seconds to a minute before it finds my location and zooms in on the phone. If I am inside a building however it can take longer which is frustrating. I have AGPS turned on and it is set to supl.google.com which I find to be very fast, but it does not seem to use the coarse accuracy from the Cell tower location.

Is anyone else seeing this or is there a setting in sygic itself that I am missing here? Is there a way to make Sygic start with coarse accuracy for a GPS fix?

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

when can we expect an update for the app? would really like postcode with door number search and auto rotate .

cheers

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

I'm guessing sygic maps asks the Location subsystem for AGNSS fix, which doesn't give network positioning, only (a)gps. I tried setting, on n900, settings - internet connection to always ask, and settings - location I disabled network positioning. I got no prompts asking to connect to internet, but I did get one asking wheter to enable network positioning, which I rejected.

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

I'm using the North American version. While the Sygic is a very well made gps program and its overall use is close to exceptional, I find the lack of POI especially near big cities such as New York or Los Angeles to be very discouraging. I'm comparing it probably too much with google maps that I've used extensively prior to N900.

Do I need to add additional POI's or was the installation not completed somehow?
Here's the information based on:
I'm trying to locate a Borders store nearby:
Touch Map - Navigate to... - Point of Interest - Near my position - Show All - Any - POI: "Borders" // and the result is "Sorry, there is no Any in this area."

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

Sygic has Norht America (both US and Canada maps) or just US Maps? Last time I checked they only had US maps. I need North American maps.

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

It has Canada as well now -- but as a separate purchase.

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

I'm using it too in the US. This I think is a prefetch bug. There are many map folders for the US, Sygic breaks the country down and ID's POI's by region apparently. The region I am in is the Philadelphia Metro Region. For faster searches it must load just the POI's for the region you are currently located. I have seen what you describe when I search for a POI outside my region. However, the POI's are still there.

When I go to "browse map", zoom out, and move the cursor to any part of the country: If I tap the menu button and select "Find nearby POI" It does return all nearby POI's. A search for "Borders" in Oklahoma City took about 15 seconds, but it gave me the Borders on the Northwest expressway there.

Does anyobe know which directory from the European Maps contains maps for Switzerland? I'm off to Zurich on Monday afternoon, and it woukd be nice to have the maps loaded.

I haven't used the PC install tool, but downloaded the distribution for direct installaltion and have just copied over to the N900 the few countries I'm interested in.

Thanks in advance, Simon.

Edit: I managed to find out the answer myself. Swiss maps are in the 'che' directory.

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

Zdeno,

One week came and went two weeks ago - any news on availability of Australian maps now??

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

Hi,

we have packages ready for a number of additional regions. Unfortunately, our map provider needs to sort out paper work first which delays the process. We are working with them to get the job done quickly. Sincere apologies for delays.

Kind regards,
Sygic Support.

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

I am a bit confused - you guys said months ago that the application was ready and had been submitted to Nokia already for the OVI store and you were waiting on Nokia.

Surely if this was true then all paperwork around maps was also done months ago too?

Gotta love marketing talk :)

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

Is there a way to search for "places" in Sygic rather than by "address"? Is this possible at all?

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

is this available for usa for a cheaper price anywhere?
