Re: Sygic Mobile maps for Maemo [problems]
 

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!

Unless you try the same maps with another navigator you can't be sure that it's caused by Sygic.
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.

Re: Sygic Mobile maps for Maemo [problems]
 

I have the same problem. I wish I could use Sygic to program a route, and then lock the phone screen and keys.
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?

Re: Sygic Mobile maps for Maemo [problems]
 

have you tried pushing the toggle switch on the right down to lock the device and see if it still works?

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

See post http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=167 by zdeno. above. It explains that it won't, and why. And what happens with the next version.

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.

if i want to rubbish this app then i will, for something so expensive it should be much better and there shouldn't be a "sygic maps for maemo (problems) thread.

Re: Sygic Mobile maps for Maemo [problems]
 

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
