Sygic – makers of mobile apps for various handsets including iPhone and Android devices just added a bunch of new regions and countries they cover.

Their latest additions are Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan and apparently the maps are localized into various dialects of Chinese for both interface and input language.

The package is fully localized into Chinese – Chinese instruction voices (Mandarin, Cantonese and Taiwanese), Chinese user interface languages (Traditional and Simplified) and Chinese text input (Zhu Yin and Pin Yin). All street names are in Chinese, names of restaurants and other points of interest are in Chinese. Road signs are localized as well.

Just recently they had also added Colombia and various Arabic countries to their list as well which included Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.

Just to be clear, Sygic does not produce their own digital maps but licenses maps from other map makers. For example all their Gulf region maps are from TeleAtlas, and the Colombia maps are from Satrack.
