I'm not getting the same result exactly with your test case but I installed some custom POIs today and if I try to edit a POI name then Sygic crashes. So something not quite right. I downloaded mine from http://poiplaza.com and selected the Sygic UPI.

@PauloNet
When you download and transfer the files to the N900. Make sure all the directories Drive Res ect are in their own directories and not all in one folder ie One main Sygis folder.
All the directories need to be separate and directly stored on main dir ie MyDocs.

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"...

I can't get address search to work.

I tap address, it asks me for country. OK.
Then it asks for city. Hm, the place isn't in a city. I try the name of a nearby village instead. OK.
Street name, ah now I get what I want. I start entering the street name, but I can only enter one letter, which the program ignores, and it then asks me to enter a number.
I enter number on the street I wanted.
It takes me to some random road about 30km from the place..

EDIT:
It works with another answer for the "City" question. It seem this program has a different idea of to which village this place would belong to than I do...

Hm, it seems more complex than that.. So basically out of Country(Municipality(Town(greatervillagearea(villa ge(smallsubvillage(street)))))), where each is a smaller subset of the previous, Country, Municipality and village work for me in the "City" field.
Entering the Municipality name in the "City" fields gets me results from the wrong municipality, but oh well..
EDIT EDIT: it suggests street in right municipality as second option when I click the up/down arrows..

It even gets pretty close to the right address! Maps on N8x0 and Maps on Symbian was always about 200 metres wrong, in their own direction.. It's amazing how hard it's to get such a simple calculation done ok, if address is "Funroad 743", then it means that the location is 7420-7240 metres from the start of the road, and on the left side because it's an odd number, so one should get within 20m with just arithmetic alone, not knowing anything about actual building placements

Score for sygic here, getting it so close to reality

Would be nice to search for a street name in all of the country, and get a list of possible locations where such a street exists

Same for me. The address I wanted was of the form:

23 Fnordian Villas
Discordian Road
Eristown
Rawchester

But it seems to think I want:

23 Discordian Road
Eristown
Rawchester

That's not ideal. I don't really get on with the guy at 23 Discordian Road

Honestly. I'm more then sure that OVI Maps won't be ready in PR1.2, simply because Sygic is out now and Nokia is not gonna harm their sales. Besides, nokia's navi is free - the rest is easy to figure out by any of you
