Of course, we couldn't miss this year's Bratislava Night Run. Almost 4500 ran the 10km track, with 20 runners from Sygic :).

In August, our colleagues managed to win an international hackathon in Budapest. They nailed it with a machine-learning solution that optimizes address search in our navigation app.

After 3 months of seeking and careful consideration, we have finally found our Sygic Traveler who will travel around the world for a whole year, capturing atmosphere of the most unique places via 360° camera. Michal Galik is the lucky traveler and video maker to get the dream job.

At Sygic we strive for data-driven decisions. Recently, we have been considering List vs Tiles while designing a new Search Options screen. Setting up a simple click test to see the actual performance of both design approaches was an obvious choice. Yet, some of the observations were rather suprising.

We would all like to spend the whole summer by the pool. However, since summertime is also the top travel season, we have to be there to accompany our users on the road. Fortunately, there are way to make hot days in the office a little more exciting. This summer has got to be FRESH.

Challenge is one of our core values. Sounds nice but what it is really like to step out of one's comfort zone? This year's main challenge at the traditional Challenge Day was wakeboard.

After last year's successful premiere, 2nd IT Fooscup took place in Design Factory, Bratislava. We almost made it to the semi final.

Good things are worth repeating.
