Sygic Gps Navigation System For Windows Ce 6.0 71
Emoni Rasner
To guarantee high quality and stability on less powerful devices we offer a legacy 2D version of the navigation software. It's a well-established product that has been on the market for 8 years and is in constant development.
What's cooler than a free navigation app for Windows Phone? One that works everywhere and that's what just happened with Sygic. Sygic GPS Navigation is coming out in the next week, but you can get your hands on the open beta.
Sygic is an independent navigation product that's been around for the best part of a decade, existing in the margins while the big smartphone players like (first) Nokia, then Google, Apple and Microsoft, have made navigation an expected, free, part of every device in 2015. It's a tough market to be in and Sygic is doing its best to adapt. But on the evidence of this first 'universal' beta for Windows 10 Mobile, you'll have to really, really want some of the more niche features and be prepared to pay through the nose for the privilege.
Now, back in 2005, navigation was a premium service and you'd expect to pay tens of UK pounds for an on-device navigation system - TomTom's being perhaps the market leader on Symbian S60 and Windows Mobile. Then Nokia bought out Gate5, released Nokia Maps (later to become HERE Maps) for free and the world changed. In response, Android's Google Maps got better and better - and also free, of course. Even Apple got in the game with 'Apple Maps' - yet again free. And Windows 10 Mobile contains 'Windows Maps', of course, building on the HERE data but rolling in traffic and public transport into the one Cortana-enabled application. And, yes, it's free. So how can, in 2015, Sygic make a business from a navigation solution for these same smartphones that relies on relatively heavy duty in-app purchases and subscriptions?
Now, obviously, fully reviewing a navigation solution requires hundreds, if not thousands of miles on real roads, and as densely obstructed as possible, in order to test traffic and other sub-functions. That will take a while. Add the 'beta' nature and it's clear that this is only a 'first impressions' - it'll give you an idea of what to expect, though as it's also a free download there's no reason why you can't grab it too and make up your own mind.

I recently had an opportunity to sit down with Erika Gogh, Procurement Specialist, Martin Hornacek, Head of Maps, Michaela Beladicova, Marcom Specialist, and Marek Lelovic, Global PR and Brand Communication Manager to learn why Sygic uses TomTom map and traffic data to power their navigation solutions. Read our conversation below.
Since 2004, Sygic has been disrupting the navigation market through its vision, passion and never-ending hunger for innovation. We started from scratch as a small business of a few talented individuals developing a platform-independent navigation app for operating systems: Symbian, Linux and Windows Mobile. Our real breakthrough came with the release of the first Apple iPhone. Sygic GPS Navigation was the first navigation solution on that platform and quickly became a hit, thanks to its accurate routing algorithms, fresh user interface and ease of use.
Sygic proudly challenges the entire navigation market by employing innovative solutions and technologies like: Head-Up Display, Predictive Routing, Real-View Navigation (also known as augmented reality) and Traffic Lights Countdown Timer, awarded the Top Innovation by Consumer Technology Association (CTA), the organizer of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
We started with MultiNet NAV in GDF format, and then we switched to the MultiNet format. Early on, we only used core products, but over time, we have integrated almost every TomTom product. Today we use TomTom MultiNet and MultiNet-R map data and TomTom live services including traffic. Our goal is to provide users with the very best map and navigation experience. We also want to ensure the broadest possible range of demand in this segment.
The app has a ton of things in tow, such as spoken street names, three alternative routes to choose from, easy route editing with drag and drop, waypoints for places you want to visit, the possibility to avoid toll roads, dynamic lane guidance, a Junction View that highlights highway exits, warnings for exceeded speed limits and for fixed speed cams, police trap warnings from other drivers, 3D cities and landscapes, pedestrian navigation, optimized graphics for high-res displays, and car audio integration via Bluetooth or cable.
Sygic GPS Navigation app is now available for download in Windows Phone Store. It offers free offline TomTom Maps, POIs, route planning, free map updates and more. There is also a premium version of the app which offers 3D maps, turn-by-turn voice-guided navigation, lane guidance, speed limit warnings and more.
For both iOS and Android, Gaia GPS makes another fantastic app with among the best offline navigation capabilities. Cross-reference between USGS/USFS maps, National Geographic Trails Illustrated maps, road maps, and satellite views; define pre-planned routes and chart your on-the-ground travels and waypoints; and link up geologged photos to document your journey.
