Sygic Mobile Maps for iPhone has got a major update. It is bringing a whole UI reworking to its users free of charge – sweet! It is traffic-ready and the traffic info system will be gradually launched to the regions during this quarter. Additionally, it supports speed camera or road incident sharing between the app users and much more – such as:
- Fresh new look and feel of the whole application
- Natural scrolling through menus with no buttons needed
- Pinch to zoom the map
- Dynamic menu animation
- Optimized music playback during navigation
- iPhone-like keyboard
- Contacts integration enhanced by means of utilizing 1400 common abbreviations for address segments across 24 languages
- Policetraps community – share mobile and static speed cameras and get warnings updated in real-time. Sign up on policetraps.com or report anonymously. Tap the bottom part of the navigation screen to report speed cameras or incidents
- Traffic info icon is already present in the main menu – it will be activated at the moment of launching the service, availability and launch time depends on region
- Useful indicators – network signal, battery status, GPS signal strength icon and time – now present throughout the menu on top right panel
- New instruction voices added
- The address input within the country simplified by means of skipping the country name input field – the user can still decide to take the step back if he/she happens to be in different country compared to the last route
- The app is ready for Google Local Search and Sygic is awaiting the green light from Google. The weather information feature is also ready and awaiting activation
Sounds good, doesn’t it? Well I know I’ll be checking it out in my Local iTunes store (the UK)!
