The trust of more than 30,000,000 million users in this GPS navigator has motivated us to try this application and the truth is that the experience has been fantastic, on one of our new trips.
INTERFACE:
When entering the APP we find its home screen (Click or pass the cursor over the white circles to learn more about the interface) :
HOW THIS GREAT OFFLINE GPS NAVIGATOR WORKS:
It is very easy to use.
We just have to enter the address where we want to go, using the application's search engine and configuring the way in which we are going to travel to it, if we want to go through a specific point, which POI (Points of interest) we want to show on the map. We can also do this from the "NAVIGATE TO" option.
Once the trip variables have been configured, the itinerary map will appear. In it we will see the different alternatives that we will have to reach the chosen destination. Click on them so that the properties appear and choose the one that seems most suitable to us. Click on "NAVIGATE" to start the itinerary.
In the navigation interface we will have all the information we need to make the trip as informed as possible. It will show us the km that we have left to travel, the speed at which we are driving, the estimated time of arrival .
Within the browser, we can move around the map, zoom in, click on the POIs that appear, access options simply by executing gestures on the same screen.
During the itinerary, if we click on the screen, information will appear on both sides. On the left side we can see the nearest gas stations and on the right the possibility of zooming in on the map and activating the map in 3D or 2D (all configurable).

OUR OPINION ABOUT SYGIC EUROPE AND RUSSIA:
We were pleasantly surprised. Tell you that as soon as you access it, the first thing we will have to do is download the map or maps that interest us. From there we can use the application 100%, as we have explained before.
Apart from being very precise and taking us to the destination without any type of failure or error, we have to highlight all the alerts that it gives us along the way. Beeps if there is a dangerous curve, if we exceed the speed allowed on the road, it warns us of changes in speed signs, we really loved the experience. Look at how much we liked that we have decided to do without our usual GPS, to use SYGIC
The orders that he gives us out loud are concise and precise. In addition, when arriving at the exit of a highway, a crossroads, a small screen will appear on one side that will provide us with information on how to carry out the pertinent maneuver. This is VERY HELPFUL.
Another thing to note is the record of every trip we make. We will be able to keep a history of the trips made, which, at least to us, we like. The amount of information that can be extracted from them is also impressive.

Regarding battery consumption we can say that it is normal. On a 1h trip we consumed 25% of our battery, which we see as normal for an app that is connected to the GPS during the entire journey. If you choose to use this app, we recommend buying a car charger and connecting the iPhone or iPad on all your trips.
We forgot to mention that the app can also be used in landscape mode. The information bars that appear on the screen are fully configurable, as you can see in the following image:
We have been delighted by the experience gained with this browser. We recommend you try it, you won't regret it.
