Re: The Future of Maemo & N900/Ovi Maps

Chris,
lol, thanx for that Sygic preview.
Dont think its worth the 50 euro then at the moment.
Will stick with the limited Ovi Maps or Mappero.

How was the dog after the alternative walk ?

Re: The Future of Maemo & N900/Ovi Maps

Works fine for me, I'm stuck living with the eyetyes and can't understand a thing, Sygic gets me where I need to go, it's at least as good as the tomtom I bought with me on the routing plus it has "safety" cameras etc..
I say support the guys that went out on a limb to support your hardware, if you don't you may not have an option in the future...

Good advice - one of the reason I purchase innovative games released for the N900. Releasing Mobile Maps for the N900 was a particularly impressive, given that Nokia gives Ovi Maps away for free (and that Nokia might update this for the N900 in the future).

Took dog out for walk to park and tried it out on the way.

Route we would take...

Route it came up with...

This is set on shortest route!!

Used Ovi maps on way back and it found the right route straight away.

Am not planning on paying for Sygic after 7 days if this is the kind of results i`m going to get, will stuck with Ovi maps and no voice.

Also the POI are years out of date - a restaurant that closed about 7 years ago and a petrol station i`ve never heard of.

1. If you showed us the actual route screen shot it would have been much better , its kinda odd to show Google maps ;)

2. Did you checked your settings? It appears longest route is going through highway maybe there is something wrong with your settings? Yes its longer but might be faster?

3. No I dont have Sigic maps nor I work for them :D

Of course, Nokia's track record has been to be pretty rather than smart so we'll just have to wait and see.

Whuut that is the exact opposite of what I think. :P What's pretty about Nokia's software? :S

Thanks Sygic!

Thanks for supporting us, you can count on my support in the future.
