Try updating the location server from the default nokia server to google's at supl.google.com this made the ovi maps obtain a lock so much faster for me..
does anyone have any idea when sygic will be released?
I only way i will get this is if it's FREE since Ovi Nav is already FREE and Ovi Nav is better than this. It does no justification to buy a program that ISN'T BETTER THAN THE FREE VERSION.
Does OviMaps really appear to be that qualitatively competitive with Sygic?
seriously you are better off buying a second hand 5800 and using ovi maps with all maps u wish for near the same price as sygic with all the individual maps for n900
Well, there is something to be said about that argument about carrying around multiple devices. If you're paying only slightly less than a used 5800 to have Sygic, and you have the benefit of carrying around only that ONE device that's always around when you need it (be it in your own car, in a rental car that you didn't expect you'd need, or in an outing with friends and need impromptu directions, etc.).
For more information, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Katarina,
I've already contacted Sygic through email asking about Brazil maps availability, and they say it will be launched in the future since N900 was not officially launched so it is not a priority. Please confirm if you have any idea about this time gap between the official launch and the addition of Brazil maps.
I think that the hold up is Nokia getting their Ovi store to work properly. According to Sygic they have been asked by Nokia to release it thru the Ovi store. Sygic has submitted it to Nokia 1/14/10 and Nokia has not "approved" it yet. I think that they should bypass the Ovi store and sell direct.
You sound impatient. You must REALLY like Sygic.
