Sygic Assistant runs on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Download the software from the link below and install it.

Download Sygic Assistant

Before starting the software, connect the device to the computer in removable disk mode, or insert the memory card containing the map software into a card reader.

An update through Sygic Assistant can only be carried out if there is enough free space on the storage medium to download the map package. You therefore need to take the following steps:

1. Make a backup copy of the contents of the storage medium.

2. Delete the folders in the Maps folder and their contents, except for the content.info, content.lic and footprint.info files.

Start Sygic Assistant. Sygic Assistant detects the version of the map software.

Click "OK".
On the next screen, enter your Sygic account details and click "Login".

If you do not have a Sygic account yet, you can create one by clicking "Create Account".

Enter your e-mail address and the password you want (Password), then repeat the password (Repeat password). After entering the details, click "Create Account".
Once you are logged in with your Sygic account, select the maps you want to buy or update.

To start the purchase, click the "Buy" or "Download" button.

The purchase is made through PayPal, so it is secure. If you do not have a PayPal account yet, you can create one at the link below:

Create a PayPal account

You can find more information about PayPal here:

About PayPal

To complete the purchase, click "Continue".

At the end of the purchase you can download the maps you have bought.

If there is not enough free space on the storage medium, create a folder called "Maps" in the root folder of another storage medium with enough space, copy the files named in step 2 into that folder, and then carry out the download. After the download, copy the folders for the maps of the countries you want, and the wcl folder, from the storage medium used for the download to the original storage medium. Make sure that at least 100 MB of free space remains on the storage medium for running the software. The software can only be run from the original storage medium.

3. Downloading additional maps

3.1. If you did not select additional maps during installation, you can do so later. To do this, choose "Manage maps" in the main menu.

3.2. To add more maps, tap the "+" button. Select the region. The licence activated with the voucher makes the software fully usable with the maps of the Europe region.

3.3. The list of countries in the region appears. The download size of each map is shown in the list. Select the countries you want. The map of the first country you select starts downloading; the other countries are added to a queue. Countries that are already installed are marked in blue. Some countries may contain further regions (e.g. the United Kingdom); this is indicated by "Contains regions" under the country's name. To install these, select the country and then the region you want. If needed, you can select all regions at once with "Download all regions" at the top of the screen.

The Full Europe package is more than 4 GB of data, so we recommend downloading it over a Wi-Fi connection.

Please note that the software needs at least 5 MB of storage to run, so only download as many countries at once as will fit in the available storage. You can add maps from the available list at any time.

If there is not enough storage in the device's memory, you can move the maps to a memory card. To do this, follow the steps at the bottom of this guide.

Moving the software to a memory card

The device's internal memory may not have enough storage to download all the maps. If the device supports memory cards, the software installation and its data can be moved to the memory card. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Install the app as described above.

2. Open the Menu.

3. Open Settings.

4. Under Map and data storage, select the storage location where you want to keep the maps.

Additional maps can be downloaded under "Manage maps" as described in step 3 above.
