Sygic GPS Navigation

Offline GPS navigation from Slovakia

SlovakiaEU Ownership reviewed, controller unresolved

Scope verdict

Ownership reviewed, controller unresolved

This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.

How we classify services

Sygic GPS Navigation is a navigation app from the Slovak company Sygic, covering both driving and walking. It works from offline maps stored on the device, so routing and guidance keep working without a mobile data connection, which helps abroad or in areas with poor coverage.

As a European alternative to the US navigation apps, it keeps your location handling with a European vendor and does not depend on a constant connection. It suits drivers who travel across borders and anyone who would rather not stream map data while navigating.

Pricing

The app can be used for free, but most advanced features are in the paid plan, which costs about EUR 19.99 per year.

Why this matters

This public website route ends on Amazon Web Services, whose European seller is wholly owned by Amazon.com, Inc. An EU region can provide European data residency but remains under US ultimate ownership. DNS does not reveal the AWS region, the core service's host, or use of the separately operated AWS European Sovereign Cloud.

Incoming business email

Microsoft 365

Non-European provider
Observed
MX 0 sygic-com.mail.protection.outlook.com

Why this matters

Published MX records route incoming business email through Microsoft 365. Correspondent details and message content can therefore enter this non-European provider's systems; MX does not reveal the configured storage region.

Public DNS records identify visible providers and routes, not every backend location or private data-region setting.
