No, it's free. It's just a small updated version.

I think its cool that you dont need to look at the phone. but what f you are driving say 45 miles per hr? thats to fast to turn on a dime right? but i suppose if you understand how far a meter is it shouldnt be a prob unless you come to a intersection with multiple streets. then it could be a bit of a prob no?
Well, I obviously slow down when I hear '200 meters'. Actually it'll warn a bit earlier when I go fast (IIRC - I used it a lot last year, not this year). So when it's time to turn I'm not going fast anymore. Due to the accuracy of TT it's not a problem (so far) to figure out the correct turn. There was and incident once with a roundabout with 7 exits that I had to go a couple of rounds, and not only look at the screen but also switch it from 3D to 2D (or possibly the other way around) to see which exit to use. Actualy now when I think about it I had to finally leave at the wrong exit, re-set the display mode, go back, and then I found the right exit. But that was an exception. You don't see 7-exit roundabouts very often.

As said earlier, I haven't yet tried this with Sygic. With the one-that-shall-go-unnamed-but-ends-in-"lost", though, I couldn't figure out the right exit 50% of the time. That navigation system was horrible. Too much latency, inaccurate, wouldn't recalculate when I did a wrong turn, etc.
