In other words, even if the Sygic app offers navigation on the display in the car, the reporting feature is still running on the mobile device. When the smartphone is connected to Android Auto and the navigation runs on the head unit, the reporting feature is exclusively available on mobile devices.

Sygic is trying to address the distraction by limiting the traffic reports to mobile devices. This approach is very straightforward, but on the other hand, it could also cause driver distraction given users can interact with the screen for traffic reporting. A reporting button is available on the main screen, and all reports offered on Android are supported on Android Auto as well. The Android Auto integration bundled with Waze allows users to send traffic reports right from the head unit.

On Android Auto, however, Sygic has adopted a different approach compared to Waze. Sending a report when the app is running on a mobile device is as easy as pressing a single button. In other words, it allows users to report what’s happening on the road, therefore keeping the rest of the motorists informed about traffic conditions. The application can provide users with route guidance to a defined destination, coming with all the necessary options for such capabilities.Īlso available on Android Auto, Sygic GPS Navigation bundles a traffic reporting system a la Waze.

Sygic GPS Navigation is often considered a top alternative to Google Maps.
