Getting started

Sygic GPS Navigation and Maps is offline navigation software and does not require internet connection

to operate.

Internet connection is only necessary during initial installation and activation of the software and for

installing maps and updates. It is also necessary for optional add-on services such as Live Services and

crowd-sourced Police trap alerts.

Your safety and the safety of your passengers is of utmost importance, that is why you should always plan

your route before the beginning of the journey. Also make sure that you have installed all maps and

updates while in the comfort of your home or at a place with a solid Wi-Fi connection. For longer trips make

sure that you have a compatible charger to avoid draining the device battery.

Please note: Your device needs to support Google Play Store in order to install the application. Custom

ROM is also not supported as we cannot guarantee compatibility with other than stock ROM from the

manufacturer. 150 megabytes of free space in your internal memory is required in order to install the

application and resource files.

In Navigation Mode (Pic.1), the software tracks your position for visual reference of the route and map

around you. (Please note that it is necessary to have GPS Module enabled on your device during usage).If

you want to explore other locations, drag the map with your fingers to switch to Map Browsing Mode

(Pic.2).

To select destinations such as Home and Work, review Travel book, to launch premium features Dashcam

or HUD (Head Up Display) and alter settings, go to Menu (Pic.3).
