Vehicle profiles and route calculation

The most important difference is the ability to create and use vehicle-specific profiles.

Sygic Truck & Caravan Navigation allows you to create a vehicle profile and set parameters such as dimensions and weight. Routes are then calculated to help avoid roads that may be unsuitable or restricted for your vehicle. Sygic Truck & Caravan Navigation is designed for larger vehicles, including trucks, buses, motorhomes and caravans.
 
Sygic GPS Navigation is intended for standard passenger vehicles and does not support vehicle-specific routing.
