Sygic (/ˈsaɪdʒɪk/ SYE-jik[1]) is a Slovak company of global automotive navigation systems for mobile phones and tablets. The company was founded in 2004 and is headquartered in Bratislava, Slovakia. It became the first company to offer navigation for iPhone and second for Android.[2] In 2015 Sygic reached milestone of 100 million downloads of its navigation app.[3]

Sygic navigation systems work on mobile phones and tablets with GPS and use screen and audio signals to provide door-to-door information for well-oriented travel, live traffic & police radar/speed camera warnings, parking places, and gas price suggestions.

Sygic GPS navigation focuses on its wide usability.[6] It can be used both online and offline, runs on Android, Android Auto, iOS, Windows Phone and Symbian operating systems, offers maps for more than 200 countries in the world and operates in more than 30 languages.

Users of Sygic GPS navigation can download maps to their devices and use them when they need navigation but have no internet connection. Sygic optimizes data download sizes to allow users to use maps offline while using the minimum amount of memory on their devices.[9][third-party source needed]

Sygic delivers its GPS software worldwide in more than 30 languages, including Chinese, Arabic, Persian, Greek, Russian and many European languages. In 2016 Sygic created a translation project on Crowdin "dedicated to localization of Sygic app to all languages".[10] Project localization is open to the public that can contribute to Catalan, Urdu, Persian, Malay, Tamil, Latvian and other languages.

Real-time traffic information is based on TomTom Traffic. Traffic information is collected from more than 400 million drivers and updated every 2 minutes. "GPS data is collected from connected personal navigation devices (PNDs), commercial fleet GPS devices, mobile phone signals, road sensors, journalistic data, smartphones and car dashboard systems."[11] Users do not report anything - the data is collected automatically and anonymously.

NRK (Norwegian national broadcasting service) published a report about Sygic sharing data with data brokers like Gravy Analytics, part of Ventell for purposes like fraud detection, law enforcement, and national security. GDPR is setting strict limits and requirements for what companies can do with users' personal information. According to lawyers, this is in violation of the GDPR.[12] However, neither Gravy Analytics nor Ventell are partners of Sygic, and there is no proof of the fact that the source of the data referred to was Sygic.[13]

wWth Sygic Travel, can I use same saved map on Sygic travel on Sygic navigation? I am a premium member, have the plan plotted and routes set, but how do I use the route planned on the Sygic Navigation app?

I used this site to plan an itinerary for a multi-city trip to Japan in 2016 and have just started plotted a European trip for this 2017. When loading the application, I did not choose a city at the start but manually added the Hotels I'd booked and the days they were booked for. Provided the site knows where you begin and end each day (i.e your accommodation listings for the day) it had no trouble allowing me to add activities on different days for different cities. The only issue is it won't be able to track travel between cities accurately, or activity times for a day you move between cities. However, if you are only interested in itinerary plotting, it worked fine for me.

Thanks for sharing your experience Les. I agree, it doesn't handle intercity travel too well. It prefers you make them separate trips which can be a pain. In a recent multi-city trip to Kyushu, I had to create and plot 4 separate maps for a 5-night trip. It would have been so much easier if it just let me do it all as one trip. It's still a good travel planning app though and something I'll continue to use until someone comes up with a better one.

Hi Deepali, yes it was. Sygic Travel is still pretty much the same. It can suggest the major attractions and hotels but the map they use is not as good as Google Maps. It's hard to find restaurants and smaller, lesser known destinations.

With the recent announcement of the closure of Google Trip Summaries, users have been looking for a replacement. Luckily, there are many excellent options on the market.

This article covers eight top alternatives to Google Travel Trip Summaries, with something for all types of travelers. So, keep reading to find the best travel planning application for you!

Google Trips allowed users to find inspiration for trips and plan upcoming trips. It split vacations into individual days with a summary of where will be visited and what will be done. It additionally featured pre-planned travel guides and itineraries for over 200 cities worldwide.

The app also kept track of reservations, including flights and other transport, accommodation bookings, and entertainment and attraction reservations. It even allowed you to search for accommodation and transport, like flights or car rentals, and book through the app, syncing reservations with your itinerary.

The full Google Trips service eventually shut down, leaving only a remnant of the original app, Google Trip Summaries. This part of the app allowed you to review past and upcoming trips, add reservations to your Google calendar, and review some activity, transport, and accommodation suggestions. However, Google Trip Summaries has now been shut down, leaving users looking for an alternative.

Wanderlog is one of the top travel inspiration and planning apps on the market. You can use the app on desktop and through the app to plan day-by-day itineraries and get activity suggestions. You can also import all information relating to your trip, and it will be added to your itinerary.

The primary feature of Wanderlog is travel itinerary creation, as with Google Trip Planner. Users can create customized day-by-day travel itineraries, adding all information related to their trip in one place.

Things you can add to an itinerary include:

Wanderlog is also one of the best travel budgeting tools on the market. Budgeting features include categorizing expenses, being able to export expense reports, and having group budgeting options to split expenses between travelers.

Are you planning a group trip? If so, Wanderlog is an excellent tool to consider to make planning together easy. Simply add the email of each group member to your trip, and they can then get email notifications relating to the trip and edit and add to the itinerary. As mentioned, the budgeting feature can also be used to split group expenses.

A free version of Wanderlog is available for desktop and mobile via the Apple Store for iOS and the Google Play Store for Android. This free version has most of the features mentioned above. Some paid-for options are available via Wanderlog Pro if you want access to a few additional features.

These extra features include access to your itineraries and maps when offline, road trip route optimization, and unlimited attachments connected to your itinerary, allowing every document relating to your trip to be in one place. The Gmail scanning feature discussed above is also available with Wanderlog Pro.

Wanderlog is perfect for all travelers, from solo travelers to groups and those planning a road trip. No matter what your trip entails and how many people are involved, Wanderlog will make planning and organization easy!

TripIt is also an itinerary-based app. You can create day-by-day itineraries that can be accessed across devices. You can add notes and other documents, like PDFs and photos relating to your travel plans, to these itineraries as well.

Once you have a reservation or booking confirmation, simply email that to the TripIt email, and it will be added to your itinerary (as long as the email address you email from is the same one used for your TripIt account).
