Discussion about Sygic editions modified by MrDude

I've exceptionally posted the beta version only for info and curiosity, because it has major updates.

Surely MrDude will present only the final version.

You know as well as I do any time Sygic makes a big change to their GPS app it takes them 5 or 6 version if not more to correct what was working for sometime only to screw it up.
They have a long history of doing screw up with Beta versions. It is one of the reasons I stopped doing Beta testing for Sygic. It got to be one screw up after another with each Beta version they pushed out. They always screw up a function that has worked for some time only to remove it of it does not work anymore.....

That´s why I prefer 17.9.4 version... Changing functions only for changing it.... "If anything works, don´t change it".

I have tried 19.0.3 in my Xtrons multimedia center, hoping it would improve the image quality of the maps, and the colors, but no. Possibly the cause is that I do not have Android auto, but I do not notice improvement

Yep, there's no point in patching beta's to be honest. I've patched the truck version (arm7) you posted so will post that later today. As for Arm64 version, I won't be patching that as Arm7 works on Arm64 anyway and it's twice as much work and I don't have an Arm64 device to test on. I had a look at the new truck you posted and it's got that new accident sms feature added to it. I'm not sure if I like it or not as it must use the accelerometer in the phone/device....just picking up the phone seems to make it think you've been in a crash.....probably it's OK if the phone is sitting in a docking station though.

Probably it's OK if the phone is sitting in a docking station BCS in a "crash," it probably flies

I have a high end dash cam and it is a big pain with going over speed bumps and pot holes.
It is always thinking it was an accident. Tried different settings but nothing helps except going very slow over them.
Now add accident control via SMS to the Sygic Truck app it is a waste of time doing that.
Then sending out fake accident sms when there was no accident.
I think you would wind up with a nice bill from the city or towing company.

They just need to stick to making it a very good Truck GPS app and forget all the extras no one is going to use.

The cost of a independent dash cam far out ways having your smartphone do all these extra things.

You have to remember you have hands free calling, whatesapp messages, sms and playing music apps.
Then top off that running your Sygic Truck GPS app and using the dash cam accident control via SMS function.

Then ask why am I having problems with my GPS app..........??????
