Sygic arrives on Android Auto to compete with Google Maps and Waze

Until now, Google Maps and Waze (also owned by Google) were the only navigation apps to be fully supported on Android Auto β€” others were restricted to the phone interface. This is now changing as popular alternative Sygic becomes one of the first third-party navigation apps to have native support for Android Auto.


Earlier this month, a beta build of Sygic for Android Auto was made available to registered testers and Redditor u/jesusbabio shared some images of it. The new UI is tailor-made for head units and is much better optimized than the phone interface that was previously available.



As seen in the images, the application seems to offer a simplistic interface that offers necessary information without distracting the driver with a cluttered panel.

The Android Auto build for Sygic is still in beta and it's not known when the app will be made available to all users. However, if you want to check it out, sign up for Sygic betas via the Google Play Store listing and ensure you've updated to version 19 (which you can grab from APK Mirror). Once installed, you'll need to activate the Android Auto trial license from the Sygic Store to get started.
