What's New
One map for everything, one map for every traveler.
Single application for everyday use and for special occasions, including information for all your needs - driving, walking and exploring, with options to book your hotel, table, or excursion. New rich map content, improved driving at night, and integration of Yelp, Foursquare and Viator.
How to install it :
1. Copy the folder 'Sygic', then in USB mode, paste it in root of intern memory of phone or tablet.
If you have an old version, just overwrite the folder. Sometimes, you must only replace the file 'version' in folder 'Sygic'.
2. Very important : cut internet (3G, 4G, Wifi).
3. Install 'Sygic 15.6.0.apk' and open it.
If you have an old version, just overwrite the apk. Sometimes you must uninstall it.
4. Do what is written but don’t put any email.
5. Maybe you are in English. Don’t worry !
- On top, left, click on the 3 little lines.
- Never open 'Sign In' (Inscription) and 'Sygic Store'.
- Click on 'Settings', go to 'Regional' and open 'Language'.
Choose good language for you and return.
- Go to 'Voice and notifications' and open 'Voice'.
Choose good voice for you and return.
6. Close the application.
7. Open internet (3G, 4G, Wifi).
8. Open the application and verify that all is ok.
To have the folder in the extcard :
1. In USB mode, cut the folder 'Sygic' and paste it in the root of the extcard.
2. Open application.
- Before android 4.4.2, all is good, you can download the maps (see below).
- After android 4.4.2, you have a message 'It is not possible etc'.
The folder is copied (not cuted) in 'Android/data/com.sygic.aura/files/Sygic'.
After that, you can download the maps (see below).
Maps :
1. You can download directly maps from the application :
- On top, left, click on the 3 little lines.
- Click on 'Settings', go to 'Map' and open 'Manage Maps'.
Choose maps and download them.
2. You can also download maps with 'sgcmapdownloader14.exe' (on top).
The maps are from TomTom (ta = teleatlas), date = 2015.06.
After downloading, in USB mode you can copy the maps in the good folder 'Sygic' 'Maps'.
The exact localization is depending of the version of android and of the choice of internal or external memory.
3. The others maps are from Navteq (nt), date = 2015.06.
You can only download maps with 'sgcmapdownloader14.exe' (on bottom in 'Truck').
After downloading, in USB mode you can copy the maps in the good folder 'Sygic' 'Maps'.
But you must erase the maps from TomTom !
And then, change the 'content.info' :
- Copy to have a new file.
- Open it with the bloc-notes or WordPad.
- Replace the line 'maps=TA:WORLD:2015.06'
With 'maps=NT:WORLD:2015.06,NT:NAMERICA:2014.12,NT:MEX:2014.12,'
- Save and exit.
- Copy the file, then paste it in 'Sygic' 'Maps' to replace the other one.
3. You can also download maps with 'Mapdownloader 08.09.15.exe'.
4. If you have a reaction with the antivirus, don’t worry : it’s a false reaction (nothing bad in the mapdownloaders). I can proove it.
TTS voices (good quality) :
1. To have TTS voices, use 'sgcmapdownloader14.exe'
- Open 'LoquendoTTS'.
- Click on 'Base TTS files'.
- Click on choosed voices, then download on PC.
2. Copy the folder 'LoquendoTTS', then in USB mode, paste it in root of intern memory of phone or tablet.
3. Open the application, click on 'Settings', go to 'Voice and notifications' and open 'Voice'.
Choose good voice for you and return.
Buildings :
1. Use the downloader 'Sygic OSM buildings (2015.06).exe' (more detailed than the files of TomTom or HERE maps).
2. Put *.2dc is map file in Sygic/Maps/YourCountryFolder
Speedcams (when all is ok) :
1. To have speedcams, open the folder 'Speedcams Europe 28.11.2015', then copy the folder 'import'.
2. In USB mode, open 'Sygic' 'Maps' and paste the folder 'import' in it.
3. Nothing to do after, Sygic incorporates the speedcams automatically.
