The short version

  • Only Sygic GPS Navigation has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Leica Infinity leica publishes no pricing at all and sells through dealers, so identical firms in different regions pay different rates for the same modules and cannot benchmark a quote.; Sygic GPS Navigation offline map downloads limited by area size, requiring multiple selections for larger countries
  • They diverge on capability: Leica Infinity covers Multi-sensor project, Sygic GPS Navigation covers Core Functionality.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Leica Infinity

  • Leica publishes no pricing at all and sells through dealers, so identical firms in different regions pay different rates for the same modules and cannot benchmark a quote.
  • It is modular, which means the advertised capability list is not what you get: sensor and processing modules are licensed separately and the useful configuration costs considerably more than the entry one.
  • Third-party instrument data is supported but always second-class; a mixed Leica and Trimble fleet will have one manufacturer’s raw data going through a lossier import path.
  • Windows only, with no macOS, Linux or browser option, which is a hard constraint for organisations moving field and office work to tablets or cloud desktops.
  • Perpetual licences require an ongoing customer care contract to receive updates and support, so the perpetual option saves less over five years than it first appears.

Sygic GPS Navigation

  • Offline map downloads limited by area size, requiring multiple selections for larger countries
  • Occasional inaccuracies in POIs and speed limit data in less-updated regions
  • Battery consumption increases significantly with AR navigation and dashcam features enabled
  • Limited free features; most functionality requires Premium+ subscription
