I need to buy a stand for my mobile in the car. Anyone have the idea how to check airtel 2g data usage in mobile?

1> How can i view different routes between two places?
In voice navigation mode, there are three icons on the bottom right. Click the middle icon. That will show the different routes on the maps. Tabs will also appear on the top of the screen. Each tab corresponds to a different route. Eg. Three tab for three routes. Select your desired route by clicking the tab or the route itself, then press the arrow on the bottom left & you've been re-routed.
2> I didn't understand the traffic analogies and its representations with different colours, please tell more about this.

Traffic color descriptions - Maps Help
Green means that traffic conditions are good, yellow means fair, and red or red/black means poor traffic conditions
3> How can i find nearest ATM/Hotel/Supermarket when i'm on the way to somewhere?
When in navigation mode, go to Options -> Layers. You will have Petrol Stations, ATMs etc. Don't know about supermarkets though.
4> Sometimes, the navigation shows wrong points as a destination, how to report it, or help improving.
That has to done in google maps (not navigation mode) on your phone. Or on your computer. There will be an option to 'Report a problem'.

Sygic is damn correct than Google for me, Are you in iPhone? 😉
Are you staying in any metro city or elsewhere? I think GNavigation is slightly better than Sygic. The colour of the map also make me feel that. BTW, i'm using it on my Android. To be frank, through sygic i was able to see name of some locations which aren't even updated on GMaps. In that way, sygic is good.
I think both ha e their own advantages. For real time traffic, Google is good. For offline sygic of course scores.
true, but google maps also has a facicility to pre cache maps. I hope Google Maps start offline maps soon.

This image is from Google finally brings turn-by-turn navigation to India Navigation_alternate_route_view.
Look at the bottom of the image - The second one from the right. That is the alternate route icon.

Voice instructions are on by default. Try restarting the phone. Which verison of Sygic do you have? The latest is 12.1.3.

Yes. You still need an active data connection to use google navigation. But it won't use as much data because it's cached. Open google maps, go to menu-> Make available offline. Pan & zoom to select the area you want to download & click done.
