Sygic has introduced its truck navigation product to North America. Sygic Truck Navigation is now available on Google Play at a 30% price discount for the summer.
Sygic Truck Navigation features 3Dmaps, accurate searching and precise route computing, the company said. It uses specially defined maps with truck-specific features that automatically avoid roads not suitable for trucks or specific cargoes. Drivers can choose the type of vehicle and utilize specialized features like points of interest, parking places, and gas stations, or avoid roads not suitable for trucks, buses or RVs.
“Our goal was to deliver a specialized navigation solution to the huge community of RVers and bus drivers. Users of our application appreciate new features aimed especially at them. We believe that thanks to our application, their vacations with family and friends will be safer and more comfortable,’’ said Michal Stencl, CEO.
Sygic Truck Navigation operates fully offline. An internet connection is only necessary during the initial installation and activation of the software, for installing maps and updates, and for optional add-on services such as live traffic information and crowd-sourced police trap alerts.
