Sirca Navigation vs FixPhrase

Sirca is here to help you navigate a changing world. Whether you drive, walk, or bike, Sirca’s turn-by-turn navigation will take you to your destination with ease. Once you get going, it's simple to make a stop along the way! Once you have a final destination selected, Sirca allows you to search for destinations along your route. Sirca’s simple search design and clean, clutter-free map makes navigation a breeze. Search in either MAP VIEW or LIST VIEW or even toggle between both. Choose between 5 ways of searching: Tap a pre-existing category ICON (Gas, Food, Coffee, Grocery, or our changing Wildcard); Enter location by NAME, by ADDRESS, or by KEYWORD (hamburger, movie theater); or drop a PIN on the map to indicate a desired spot! Let Sirca do the work for you, so you can get where you’re going with what you need faster. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Sometimes GPS coordinates or street addresses aren't good enough. A FixPhrase is between two and four words that can instantly pinpoint any location on Earth. The FixPhrase app uses an open source algorithm to convert latitude and longitude into a set of four words. Those four words (a FixPhrase) can then be converted back to original latitude and longitude. FixPhrases can be shorter than four words if less accuracy is required. The first two words will locate a city, the first three words will locate a neighborhood, and all four words will locate the corner of a house, the pitcher's mound in a baseball field, or six adjoining parking spots.
