Sygic Europe: GPS Navigation

What's New in Version 12.1

☆ Great new features in version 12.1: ☆ Smart management of maps and voices ☆ Turn after next turn indicator ☆ Set your own spoken warnings ☆ POIs on route and many more… ☆
_______________________________________
✓SMART MANAGEMENT OF MAPS AND VOICES
We have prepared a completely new way to manage free space on your iPhone or iPad. This smart functionality gives you complete control over which maps and Spoken-Street-Names (TTS) voices you store on your device.

You will not need to download maps in this update. After updating the app please visit menu My Sygic to remove maps you do not wish to store on your device.

✓IMPROVED SPOKEN-STREET-NAMES (TTS)
We have upgraded the Spoken-Street-Names (TTS) functionality with a new engine. This will allow us to add Spoken-Street-Names voices for many new languages in future updates. The change to TTS engine also means that we had to remove the old Spoken-Street-Names voices that would no longer work for you. Please visit menu My Sygic to re-download Spoken-Street-Names voices.

Thank you for sticking with Sygic through the last rocky update. Please take a minute to update your review of Sygic on app store and tell us what you think about version 12.1. Your opinion is the key ingredient that will allow us to better fulfill your expectations.
