The Sygic Car nav app and the Sygic Truck/RV nav app are different. The car app does not have custom routing. Its reviews are very good whereas the RV/Truck version reviews are bad.

I did try the Sygic Truck/RV app but it had too many bugs. Its reviews are awful. It has potential but it needs more development.

Even in 2021, almost all navigation systems have severe limitations, the OEM nav, Google Maps, Waze, etc. None seem to be able to do custom routes, at least none that I've found so far. I'm still looking. For example, I'm going to be hauling my RV from VT to FL. When I put the From/To...

A forum "thread" is a collection of posts under a specific topic heading within a specific forum. This thread entitled "2019 Ram Lemon-ited Edition" was created by you. A "post" is an individual entry within a thread. A thread usually contains multiple posts. When you want to create a thread...

Many of the symptoms you described are battery-related. The battery is the heart of the entire electrical system, if there's a serious problem with it, you're going to see a lot of the symptoms you describe such as the pinball lights, basically an entire electrical systems failure. Since the...

You didn't give a lot of details but it sounds like a battery or alternator issue. You mention the truck is a 2019 with a new battery, so it sounds like you replaced the original battery. A properly charged brand new battery should not act this way. Perhaps it was never charged fully after...

I think they could have done a lot better with the looks.

I've been looking into this. For my 2021 1500 Limited, there is no firmware update. Even if one is included with the map update package all it will do is confirm that the latest firmware is installed. So, for me, it's a map update only. My 2021 1500 is about a year old, if you have an older...

Seriously? I'm simply trying to help readers here know how this all works and how it's all interconnected. Most people tune in to these forums for such info and are interested. I always appreciate it when I learn new and interesting things from others in forums that are hard to find anywhere...

I don't think Google sells their map info directly to automotive GPS OEMs other than with Google Automotive Services (GAS). Instead, they are pushing automakers to adapt Android Automotive. Android Automotive, not to be confused with Andriod Auto, is an entire OS for OEM automotive GPS hardware...

Here's updates may be for free for their own HereWeGo app but this generates thousands of new users which broadens Here's reach which in turn generates more data for its location cloud. A lot of companies may appear to give away things for free or below costs but this generates increased...

Yes, auto manufactures are in the business of manufacturing vehicles not map data. So they purchase maps from digital map companies, which in and of itself is a big business globally. Some of the biggest digital map suppliers are Google (of course), Intellias, Trimble, Telenav, Garmin, Topcon...

Sygic is a GPS navigation company, that's their primary business. RAM is in business to sell trucks. Look, I'm not trying to make excuses for Stellantis, I wish the updates were free too. I'm simply trying to explain why they do what they do.

In industry, doing almost anything in less than one year is moving quickly.

That may be a legitimate gripe but financial and market forces will always previal. When you purchase a piece of custom-made equipment for a specific vehicle line you can't expect it to be at par with something like Google Maps, iOS/Andriod smartphones, or even Garmin GPS's where millions upon...

It takes a relatively long time to collect and then verify and approve map changes as legalities and liabilities are involved and the data must be thoroughly vetted before it's released. That takes time and effort. It's not unusual for "new" map updates to be several quarters old, this is still...

If you're upset about being charged for this update, see this post for an explanation.

This is true, not necessarily because manufacturers are greedy, but rather because software has become a major portion of modern vehicles and very expensive to produce, as much or sometimes even more so than hardware development. Everyone needs to understand that software is never free. Someone...

ACC can use radar, camera(s), or both. Some even use lasers. But offhand I don't know exactly which RAM uses. Radar is very good at accurately determining distances between vehicles, but it's not so good at knowing if what it senses is actually a vehicle. A vision system is not as good at...

You wrote that none of the cameras on these trucks are used for anything other than viewing. The Lanesense camera is part of a digital vision system and not used for viewing. Its output is processed by computer hardware and software. Radar does proximity sensing to avoid collisions, but it...
