With TomTom it'll also notice me at 50 meters, and again exactly when it's time to turn.

I haven't yet done this with Sygic. But then again the new upgrade version (which allows the GPS to continue working with the screen off) just came out the other day.

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?

The update is free. Though you have to add the Sygic repo.

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.

Hello,
Just to confirm that with the new Sygic 7.71.1 the GPS receiver now works even with the device screen locked.
Just what I needed to use it on my bike hearing the audio with bluetooth!

Street names are horrible, my girlfriend has a Garmin that does that if you select a certain voice, after 1 try we switched over to the one that doesnt do that. How annoying was that, street names can be long and when it spoke it you could already past it, or if you have quickly go left,right,left then it is even more a mess. Not to say if it speaks the name (which is horrible pronounced also....) then you still need to be able to read the name of the street sign, so you have to find the sign, then read it, but that all takes time.
Way better is just to look on the map, and if the map doesnt lag (which it did before the update) this is a bit annoying, but now with one look at sygic and you know ok, its the road after the next one.

For map lagging; I found these settings seems to work for me:
fps=16.0
antialias=false
PositionFiltering=false
With these the map scrolls smoothly and is pretty accurately positioned.

In this file you will find all the entries you are looking for. After the latest update, the map lagging seems to be almost gone with the stock settings.ini, at least on my phone.
