Enhanced Route Incident Display for Daily Commuters

This feature enables drivers to track and analyze their driving habits, including mileage, time, and average speed. These insights can help users optimize their future trips, making their driving experience not only smarter but also more personalized. A set of simplified data Sygic provides drivers after each journey.
