Synchro 7 adds an impressive list of new features without making you sacrifice the familiar. For example, now you can visualize full geometric layouts within Synchro, edit all data directly on a map sidebar and use multiple bitmaps to create background scenes.

Synchro vs
Synchro Light
Synchro Light has a limit of 10 intersections per file. Optimizations and reports cannot be created for files with more than 10 intersections.
Synchro allows for a large number of intersections (up to 9,999 nodes).
Synchro Light does not transfer to CORSIM, but does transfer to an HCS file. Both will transfer to SimTraffic.
