Pros: Sygic paid attention to detail in making the user interface look and feel just like a stand alone GPS unit.  Reasonably priced.  Very intuitive, easy to read menus. Lane assist is very useful especially in highly congested areas.
Cons: The letters for when you are inputting destination information is a bit cramped and I missed the appropriate letter sometimes, home navigation screen has a lot of information but the data is a bit small to read comfortably while driving.
Overall: A very solid application for GPS navigation on the iPhone.  If you have been a portable GPS unit user you will be very satisfied with the menu system and overall navigation.  I would like to see a few adjustments to the size of data displayed on the main navigation screen.  Sygic got me from point “A” to point “B” with no problems and the US Maps are reasonably priced.

The US Sygic Mobile Maps are on sale (at the publishing time of this article) for $39.99 with a regular price of $59.99.  Click here to be brought to the Sygic Mobile Maps US version in the iTunes App Store.

Just to mention something, some of the maps on Sygic are way too outdated. (ex. tells you to turn onto roads that have already disappeared long ago.). Also, the Navigon app, although cost more, has a cleaner interface, only downside to it is that you cannot choose a different route to take like avoiding freeways etc.
