Sygic no longer available for maemo/N900 ?
 

The Sygic site
http://www.sygic.com
seems to no longer list maemo as an operating system or the N900 as a compatible device.

All I see are Iphone/Ipad, android, symbian, and bada.

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

Dont N900 owner pay for sygic?

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

Yes, they stopped to support Maemo / Meego several weeks ago. There was a Thread where it was announced.

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

repository.sygic.com is down.
If you reinstall mobile maps now, you can't get the latest update.
Anyone has the update archived somewhere?

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

I wondered why I kept getting the repo error messages, it is pretty disappointing they are not even giving 12 months support after selling the app to thier last customer?

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

I had Sygic Mobile Maps, cost me around $60, it was AWFUL imo. I hardly ever used it. I actually have a much better experience with voice-less Ovi maps. Waste of money. No tears here.

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

I'm jealous, wish I could've enjoyed it. But it would take around 5 minutes outside to load and find a gps signal, compared with around 45 seconds with Ovi maps. Plus the Sygic maps to me weren't as clear. Just my view. Glad you had a good experience. Here's hoping the upcoming N950 will have voice Ovi maps.

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

Anyone knows where mobile maps stores it's activation, should the activation servers go down too?
Or how to make a fully working backup?

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

Same here. I wondered why I got a Sygic repo error message on every update of aps and then tought that could maybe related with the end of supporting. as announced. :mad:

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

I bought Sygic when it came out and it works perfect for me.
Sad that they stopped the maemo support.

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

An they stopped also the development of Aura (the successor of mobile maps) for MeeGo.

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

I found the post I talked about earlier: Link

Really sad. It worked nice at 800MHz and I thought about buying a second licence for my backup N900. Just in case... :(
But in my opinion there was no need to shut down the repo. :confused:

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

well what do folks like myself do? just purchased late April..and had to reflash. now that the repo is down i can not reinstall. tried contacting sygic support but nothing. what to do?

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

Same here. What to do now? Any suggestions?

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

Well this is no surprise at all. Expect other companies to do the same. in the future. (Rovio for example)

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

Stopping support is one thing, but not letting owners to reactivate is not acceptable.

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

exactly. i dont care if they never update the software but closing the repo is totally unacceptable for customers who have spent money on their product. in fact leaving the repo enabled probably wouldnt have been any skin off their teeth . not like anyone who doesnt already have a license could access anything from it anway.

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

I just bought this in the sale a few months ago, seems well featured. I'm disappointed they've closed the repo. Is that legal to just cut support for a product so it cannot be used if you reflash?

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

I think they suck. I will never ever give them any more of my hard earned cash. I bought the Traffic Update addon only a few months ago, now it doesn't work because it can't find the website, and the repository has been removed by a company that doesn't know the meaning of customer service or obligations of a vendor. I have written to them via the other thread asking how to claim my full refund for the product and the Traffic module, both of which have been rendered useless to my by their stupid and possibly illegal action.

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

Thats really a big shame! I use Sygic maps a lot for driving and am a happy user. Prefer them compared to OVI maps as the data seems to better in Switzerland. Also the audio support is quite good to me.

So what do I have to do in case I have to reflash? Are the demo files still available in the OVI store? but I guess they will anyway be useless as I will not be able to activate the software.
Thats really a big shame!
Good to me that I always have an up to date OS+Opt backup image to play back in case something goes wrong.

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

I agree, shutting down the repo is pretty lame. Sygic has really bad support, and google is really good at indexing this site... Hmmm. What's that you say? Sygic sucks and they don't answer their emails? The GPS is slow? Live traffic is broken? I guess Sygic Aura must be garbage too, and nobody should buy it for iPhone or Android since they hate their customers or whatever is going on here.

its gotta be posted in triplicate for maximum crawlage.

A comment from Sygic:
the repository will be up again, soon.

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

What is the latest Version?

Version 8.16 (Map Europe 7.80)?

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

I have the same version.

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

Nice to hear, but the Live traffic is also important. I payed for a year and got 3 months.

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

I'm not using the live traffic feature, but I assume it works the same way as on Android/Symbian. So it should work.

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

Wait wait wait ! Do you mean for a next maemo release ? O_o

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

no, I guess not.
He said that it probably was just a mistake during the server migration and he will fix it asap.

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

Just seen this. I bought Sygic whne it emerged. The latest version 10 was an embarrasing pile of pooh. A typical hour long journey involved the application crashing 2-3 times. Signal getting lost and never re-connecting unless app was re-started. Re-starting it required stopping that car as there are two or three screens to get through,

Then there is the routing. OMG, it took me down unmade roads and accross fords and was frankly useless if driving in rural locations. A recent journey involved it taking me round in a big circle of urban roads TWICE only to appear in at the same spot.

I now have it running sometimes just for fun to see how convoluted a route it would take me on for journeys I am familiar with. I even paid for the traffic add on, what a waste of money.

I've gone back to using my Tom Tom

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

Yes, it SHOULD. It SHOULD not have been taken off line in the first place. Sygic SHOULD have rolled out an update the removed the need for activation if they were going to turn the servers off.

Quite a lot of SHOULD there. Not known for their customer service though - experience of two products (this and McGuider a few years ago) has proven that. Perhaps Slovakia doesn't have the same level of consumer law we expect.

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

For the few who wondered how to reinstall MM after a reflash and with the repo down( like myself a couple of days ago)..... Just use xterm to install the deb which you should have gotten with your purchase..so for me i used dpkg -i /media/mmc1/Downloads/SetupMobileMaps.deb. I have not activated yet...maps are on my computer and its late...researched everywhere to work this out all night..should work though. will take care of it tomorrow and report if anyone is interested.

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

If you are really THAT desperate then just search for the crack - you already paid for it anyway.

This is what happens if you do not use a mainstream OS - commercial companies can just drop you at any time.

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

they haven't dropped it...

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

Someone should change the thread heading then

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

Not a crack my friend. It installed the deb I paid for which couldn't be installed thru HAM because the repo is down. Won't activate though....in my search for how to i did come across a crack....but didnt use it as they (sygic ) has a responsibility to I and every other maemo customer, which I personally want them to uphold. But perchance if I did use the crack would that be wrong considering what they did to paying customers? This is a large entity which obviously doesn't care about its customers while I am one small chip in the matrix. how much work would it have been for them to reactivate the repo? Ive seen maemo repos go down several times due to whatever fault...and the longest I have seen is two days. If they want to fix this and we were important it would be done by now instead of almost being two-three weeks.

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

btw i misunderstood your statement...so sorry for that...but the rest of my statement stands.

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

Does anybody have the latest update, as the repostitory is down..

Re: Sygic no longer supports maemo/N900 ?
 

Still down :(
