Yesterday:
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"...
Today: Second day, same issues. So I try to "emulate" my route... and emulation makes Sygic crash too! So no gps-gprs-wifi-related... UPI's!!! Some extra radar upis I've installed makes Sygic crash (after removing them, all route is working right!)
EXCUSE ME, SYGIC TEAM! IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, I'M GUILTY!!! (when I drive near that .upis pois, it crash... and if I'm far enought, all works fine. Sorry!)
I have software running. I would like to thank all the help.
It was not the instalation location, nor the sygic.desktop definitions. Neither the ini files.
Changing the regional settings from Portuguese/Portugal to English(uk)/UK solved the problem.
Now i would like to ask sygic support to look in to this issue because i would like (and all the portuguese customers) to use my native language in n900.
Thank you All
Now you can change your regional settings to Portugal. It crashed only on first launch of app and probably only for Portugal
Is it possible to buy global map coverage ? Do I have to buy each region individually ?
I am interested in North America + Western Europe.
Hi Mandor,
our pricing options are a bit limited in a way that we have to follow the pricing scheme of the map provider. Single price point for global coverage is unfortunately not available. We will keep you posted in case there will be news on this topic.
You can configure the NMEA data a GPS will send (using command sequences). One of the "sentences" is "GSA" which describes the satellite data that you're missing, and it's probably disabled.[..]
[EDIT: When editing this 'followup' part I seem to have removed my original posting. Which essentially said 'but unless I misunderstand what you're saying, my GPS receiver _does_ send that data, it can't be disabled. Because the same receiver works fine with TomTom and Maemo Mapper on the old N800, where the data is displayed.]
Followup: In addition to the GPS working fine with TomTom, and Maemo Mapper on the N800, I just installled 'gpsjinni' on my N800, and it shows the satellite data just fine. Sow the raw NMEA data looks fine (that's what gpsjinni uses).
So it still looks like the problem is the GPS subsystem in the N900 (gpsd?). It does something funny (like filtering away that data).
[Edit3: D*mn! It works occasionally! I won't go into all the testing I did, with various applications, but it definitely seems to be something very fishy going on with whatever software included in the GPS subsystem of the N900. My receiver is utterly reliable by itself and has worked with everything I've used it for, before this.]
The second problem is of course why Sygic decides there's no signal when that data is missing. The rest (what it actually uses) is there, and works with Maemo Mapper.
If anyone else from Malta is interested in Sygic I received this e-mail from Sygic. I am putting this attached don't know if it's gonna work never really used attachments here ;p
