Google Navigation from Droid has been "ported" to the G1

as soon as we have a running Dalvik port for Maemo, we could run Google Navigation+Voice, too.

Sygis is preparing traffic info service - technically it is ready, but we still negotiate with the service providers in different countries. We will definitelly inform our audiences, once it is in place, incl. all necessary info.

Sygic has not been bought by Tele Atlas. Sygic has provided TA with Sygic nav software, that has been distributed via TA channels branded as McGuider... that was before TA was bought by TomTom. Sygic is an independent entity...

It's not the best available, but fulfills everything a nav system has to fulfill. Optically it's drawing alot from TomTom, since it started off as a TomTom clone Sygic has been bought by Teleatlas a couple years ago and Teleatlas themselves belong to TomTom. So it now even became it's bigger cousins little fellow

No, Sygic doesnt offer any subscription based additional functionality other than a (I believe) monthly updated speed camera database. They are just too new in the business and still too small.

They are completely different to Google Maps. Sygic Drive is what TomTom or Navigon or Garmin is, an onboard offline navigation solution where you put that and that many megabytes or gigabytes of map data onto your device/memory card and that's the data the program accesses. As mentioned, optically it started off as a complete TomTom rip-off clone and still looks quite similar. It's not fully matured yet but it's cheap and cheerful, offers everything a navigation prog has to offer. And is owned by the major mapping company in the world so there will always be map updates Cant compare to Ovi Maps, don't know it yet.

Edit: Don't know Ovi maps I mean. I'm running around with some fancy robot in my pocket at the moment ;-)

Sygic has not been bought by Tele Atlas. Sygic has provided TA with Sygic nav software, that has been distributed via TA channels branded as McGuider... that was before TA was bought by TomTom. Sygic is an independent entity. We still work with Tele Atlas as our major map provider, though.
