Sygic has validated that its navigation app would be updated with support for Android Vehicle after Google lastly chose to open up the platform to third-party navigation products.
What this implies is that Android Auto users are no longer required to stick with
Google Maps or
Waze, and Sygic desires to be one of the first to take benefit of this change of approach.
“Google is opening its Android Auto platform for 3rd party map & & navigation designers to supply more options to navigation users. As an early access partner, Sygic will be offered on Android Auto in the coming months, after Google makes it readily available,” Sygic stated in August announcement.
Sygic GPS Navigation, which the business says is one of the most downloaded offline navigation app in the whole world, comes with functions similar to Google Maps, including voice instructions and spoken street names, a large POI database, pedestrian assistance, traffic info, and lane assistant.
The app already supported SYNC 3 compatibility, so Ford owners could manage the app using the head system, the knob, or the guiding wheel buttons.
With Android Auto assistance, Sygic brings its app right on the head system in all automobiles out there that come with such capabilities, and the company states its been one of those who continuously firmly insisted on Google to enable 3rd parties on its vehicle platform.
“Google is stubbornly keeping Android Auto connectivity closed for 3rd party map and navigation developers. Just its own navigation apps, Google Maps and Waze, are enabled on the platform. Sygic is pressing Google to open the Android Auto connectivity and offer consumers likewise on Android smartphones liberty of option,” Sygic stated last year.
No specific ETA is available regarding when the Sygic GPS Navigation app must be updated with support for Android Auto, but we anticipate more details in this regard to be used by the end of the year.
