Customer Reviews
very good GPS navigator, but big lack: no ZTL areas...
As GPS navigator, the App does a very good job: the graphics are clear, the information well displayed.
But the application does NOT take into account ZTL (Zona Traffico Limitato = Area with Restricted Traffic) zones, which in Italian cities are more and more common. The big problem is that those ZTL area are monitored by traffic cameras, that issue an automatic ticket if one enters the area, even if that's done by error.
Which is what happened to me… I used the App to navigate to a different city from where I live, I followed the indication and found myself in a ZTL area: 80 Euro of fine…
So, if the app does not want to provide this feature, I think it should be indicated VERY clearly: it is like not indicating One Way roads… yes the road is there, but if the GPS navigators sends me in the wrong sense, I pay thru the nose…
Again, it would be a 5 star purchase if not for this very important lacking (both in function and in the warning of function lacking)
Intuitive and flawless
We used Sygic Italy on our trip over the Easter 2012 vacation. We didn't even look at the app until we picked up our rental car. The operation of the app was very intuitive. We drove all around the country--as far north as Milan and Venice and as far south as Naples--and Sygic Italy performed flawlessly. The directions were very clear and were provided with plenty of notice.
On a related note, to pick up a cell tower signal to operate Sygic Italy, we subscribed to an AT&T international data plan for one of our iPhones. To conserve data usage, we switched off that iPhone during long stretches on the Autostrade (the Italian national highway system). Using the car's odometer, we switched on that iPhone a few kilometers before having to exit. When we returned to the U. S., we canceled the data plan, which cost us about $25--a small price for not getting lost in a country in which we didn't speak the language.
