In this blog, we will explain the differences between Sygic GPS Navigation and Sygic Car Navigation. These two navigation apps are very similar but at the same time two different standalone products. Both Sygic GPS Navigation and Sygic Car Navigation are mobile navigation applications for smartphones with Android or iOS. Both offer beautifully designed 3D offline maps and powerful navigation features. The apps do not require an internet connection for navigation as all maps are stored on your device.

What are the differences?

Connectivity. Sygic GPS Navigation and all its features works with smartphones, and the navigation is displayed on the smartphone screen only.

Sygic Car Navigation and all its features, is specially optimized to work with your car’s built-in infotainment system via smartphone-to-dash connectivity, so the navigation is projecting directly onto infotainment screen. You also can control the navigation through the steering wheel controls, dashboard buttons or touch screens. When a smartphone with Sygic Car Navigation is paired to the vehicle via USB cable and projected it aims to reduce a driver’s urge to pick up and look at their mobile device for navigation.
