Sygic: GPS Navigation 13.1 BETA v2

Allow us to introduce the new Sygic GPS Navigation 13.1 BETA for Android!
We have added a lot of new features and we need you, our users, to help us with testing and improving things before the final release.
In BETA v2 we have improved Drag & Drop feature and fixed some minor bugs.

Here is a small FAQ to prevent any misunderstandings:

Can I use this 13.1 BETA application ?
New BETA app can be used by users with licensed Sygic: GPS Navigation app, or, for users with valid trial period.
Please note that the GPS Navigation license needs to be one from our e-shop at www.sygic.com for the beta to work.



What do I need to do to install this 13.1 BETA application ?

1. You need to have Sygic: GPS Navigation app installed on your device from Google Play Store. Please note that this BETA v2 can be installed only as a clean install or update to market version, not as an update from first BETA v1.
2. Download beta .apk installation file to your device.
3. Make sure that option for installing apps from unknown sources (non-Market apps) is turned on, on your device. You can find it in Android Settings > Security > Unknown sources.
4. If you do not have any file manager app installed, you can choose one from Google Play Store.
   For example, you can use ES File Explorer File Manager or ASTRO File Manager.
5. We recommend you to make a backup (copy) whole “Sygic” folder from your SD card/internal memory to prevent data loss (maps, favorites, custom POI etc.) in case of failure.
6. Open file manager and search for .apk file that you have just downloaded from the link above, when you find it, install it.
7. That’s all. Now open the new Sygic app from application menu of your device and wait until all resources files are downloaded.

(Please, use WiFi connection to do this, it is faster and saves you a lot of MB from your mobile data plan).

How can I move back to stable market version after BETA test ?
Just delete the whole “Sygic” folder from SD card/internal memory and install the original Sygic” folder that you have backed-up. After this, open Google Play Store and look for Sygic: GPS Navigation, uninstall and install it again (it will replace BETA .apk with stable .apk from Google Play Store).
This is all you need to do before using new BETA app, now we come to the main part.

We will really appreciate if you can test these features:

1. Drag & Drop for simple route editing – In version 13.1, you are able to edit your route using Drag & Drop feature. It is pretty easy. When you already have any route from point A to point B computed, just tap and hold your finger at any point of your route and drag it to your desired position. Drop the flag and your route will be recalculated afterwards.
2. Pedestrian mode with spoken instructions – From version 13.1, you can use spoken instruction for pedestrian mode as well.
3. Sidebar for tablets – If you have an Android tablet, from now you can enjoy Sidebar that will show you a lot of useful information about your route.
4. Off-road – Sometimes you just need to get off the known roads. In this case, our Off-road feature will leave “bread crumbs” behind you. So, you will never have a problem with getting back on the road. Off-road will track your movement and help you get back the way you came from.
5. Fix for Contacts on Android ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) - From this version, there should be no problem with navigating to your contacts.

Please fill in following web form after testing, so we can check all the problems that need to be fixed before final release.
