Sygic update Mobile Maps/Aura apps to Sygic GPS Navigation
You may remember a while back we told you of how Sygic intended to abandon two apps and merge them into one on the store. So instead of having “Mobile Maps” and “Aura” they would just have “Sygic GPS Navigation“.
Well today the updates started to roll out and here’s how it is going to work.…

Sygic to force ‘upgrade’ from Mobile Maps to Aura?
Any of you that have been with us from the start will know that Sygic Mobile Maps was one of the first turn-by-turn apps produced for New Zealand and the first that we ever reviewed, and well… let’s just say it holds a special place in our hearts. A year or so after Mobile Maps hit the store, Sygic launched a second turn-by-turn app, Aura.
Since the launch of Aura, both apps have happily co-existed side-by-side as two distinct products, allowing consumers to choose which of the two suits them most and purchase accordingly. Now, however, it would seem that Sygic have disowned their first-born, and will convert Mobile Maps to Aura via a software update whether you like it or not. While we’re certain that Sygic are rolling out with the best of intentions, we don’t think it’s right. Read on for our thoughts.…

Updated apps from Sygic offer more GPS navigation goodness for NZ
If you’ve read through our GPS navigation app reviews, you’ll know that we’re pretty big fans of Sygic’s Mobile Maps app. A few weeks back, Sygic’s ‘next-gen’ GPS app, Aura, hit the Store but we never got round to reviewing it. Well, now Aura has received a significant update in the form of version 2.0, and an update to the original Mobile Maps has hit the store, so we thought we’d take a look to see whether either app has what it takes in today’s GPS market. …
Read MoreSygic announces next-gen GPS app, Aura: looks amazing! (video)
Sygic, creators of one of our favourite GPS navigation apps, Mobile Maps, have announced their next-generation ‘real 3D’ GPS app, Aura. Described rather excitedly as a “dream come true”, it promises to be a “professional car navigation meets pedestrian-centric application with social networking in a single real 3-D futuristic product”. Phew! Got that? We have to say… it looks fab with densely and slickly-animated 3D buildings and topography, and best of all a New Zealand version is coming. We’ll be going hands-on with an in-depth review once the app is released but in the meantime read on for the full press-release, screen-shots and a video demo to whet your appetite.…

Convergence, sweet convergence. First your iPhone let you chuck out your iPod, your PDA, your dusty old filofax and even your lame netbook.
