In Sygic, we are changing the way people travel. We connect smartphones with cars, help families stay in touch, and navigate fleets worldwide. We are pioneers in hybrid navigation for smart devices such as Google Glass and Apple Watch.
In 2004 we started in an office of ​​25 square meters as a small startup. Today our app is one of the most successful navigation solutions, with over 200 million downloads. Our software is available worldwide in more than 30 languages. We are known for the Sygic GPS Navigation mobile application, the first navigation app on the Appstore and the second on Google Play. Our portfolio has extended over the years, but our focus remains. We became part of the Eurowag group in 2019, and now, we are happy to work on products that connect both visions into one!

Although we are far from the only player in the navigation business, we were the first to develop some great features. Our app was the first in the world:
- with 3D maps
- with integrated Head-up Display functionality
- with Dashcam functionality
- with integrated online parking information at the destination
- with augmented reality within the Real View Navigation functionality

Our users are considered part of the Sygic development family. We listen to their suggestions and try to ensure that our product still brings them added value.

Join us and work with the latest technologies at Sygic. We are working on new products with global impact, and we still try to keep our startup spirit. One of our products focuses on navigation for professional drivers worldwide, and that's where we need your help. We create navigation for professional drivers, so it is not only good-looking, it has to work as a whole. That's why developers work closely with UX and UI designers. We turn designs and UX flows into a real app. Our app works on mobiles, Apple Car and Android Auto and as inbuilt navigation of car's infotainments. That brings challenges with adjusting it for different screen sizes and integrating it into multiple sorts of hardware. It is very complex. It requires good software architecture and design. It's challenging to keep such a complex app clearly structured and well maintainable. We follow Google's recommendation to keep it as clean as possible.
