[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Okay [MENTION=4236886]endofwed[/MENTION] I have some information and screenshots for you, pay attention and view the attached screen-shots.

I will skip the white Sysgic logo screen because you have already seen it. I did notice that the GPS satellite icon was present in the status-bar even with the white screen, the app is looking for a satellite lock. (This icon is visible in 3 of the attached screen-shots, one points it out with a red arrow.) I then used my finger to swipe down on the left side of the status-bar to investigate this satellite icon and found the app running, I tapped this message to "open the app" which was already stalled at the logo screen. The second screenshot shows the "Attention" screen, telling me to access the running app by tapping the back button. Satellite icon still visible.

You can "poke" the app if it is stalled by pulling down the status-bar and tapping it's notification.

Screenshot #3 shows the app now "processing" x/410 items, whatever they are. Satellites or positions? I have attached a message with arrow in the screen-shot, showing the running GPS satellite icon for you with a red arrow. Once "processing" is finished, we reach the start screen. At this point, I must choose a location such as North America, then check a state like Florida. Now I get the warning that I am about to download 270 Mb of map data, at which point, I declined as I think you never got this far. I can test it further by downloading the map, but I think you need to at least get this far, first.

Listen, this Sysgic GPS app is going to start out very slow at first run. It must locate the satellites and get a lock before it can proceed. then it will show you the start screen and then download over 200 Mb of map data. You need 4G, WiFi, or a LOT of patience to get past the first run of the app & download the map if you are on 3G or 1X. You can "check the progress" of this initial launch of the app like I did by pulling down the left side of the status-bar.

Make sure your GPS is on and set to "High Accuracy" in the quickset panel or in Settings.

Look for the satellite icon in the status-bar. Pull down the status-bar with finger to see details of the GPS lock process.

You can tap that pulldown detail pane with finger to attempt to reach the app like I did.

Then the app will open to the "Processing" screen, you must wait.

When finished, you get the Sysgic Start screen. Press Start to begin.

Now choose your location and state.'

Wait for big map download. Use 4G or WiFi to speed up this download.

After this, the app should run normally from then on until you need to download another map and must wait for it if you use it in another location.

* The second time I opened the Sygic App, it did open much faster. App Info revealed the app did download and setup 83 Mb of stored data, before I nixed the map download.

Try that stuff and see what happens. Once you get past that initial download screen, the app should run faster next time.

I use Google Maps because Google made Android and their apps and services *always* run better than any third party app could on Google Android.
