NAVIGON launched the second generation of its iPhone navigation app, which “completely redefines core elements of iPhone navigation,” including a new map management function and an in app purchase option for quarterly map updates. As a result, users will be able to choose which map regions to download to their device, thus saving some storage space of their iPhone. Moreover, separating the app and maps also simplifies future updates, as users can update the app (about 40MB) without reinstalling the maps multiple times. For instance, users who own the USA version can pick the states they want immediately and download additional regions at a later time. NAVIGON 2.0 is also the first iPhone navigation app to offer quarterly map updates. The FreshMaps service uses map and POI database from NAVTEQ to ensure the most accurate data possible. In addition, this release of NAVIGON also comes with some UI improvements. It is Read More

Updated to include force-quit fix for missing favorites. If you're already a Navigon GPS app owner you'll find a significant free update at the app store today. If you haven't chosen a GPS navigation solution yet, Navigon has given you good reason to check the product out. Navigon 2.0 is a complete rethink of the app, with new GUI elements, and the ability to selectively download just the states you want maps for. Never get to the West coast? Save space by not putting those maps on your iPhone at all. Users of the North America and USA versions in particular will benefit, so map storage can be measured in megabytes rather than gigabytes. Even owners of the regional versions can save a lot of storage space. The result is a lot of extra room on your iPhone or iPad for music, movies, or apps. Even better for fence sitters, Navigon Read More

Navigon's MobileNavigator packs more features than just about any other GPS app--and it's on sale for half off. Standalone GPS navigators are pretty cheap these days, but when it comes to getting the most bang for the buck, it's hard to beat an app-equipped iPhone. One of the most popular navigation apps for the iPhone, Navigon's MobileNavigator North America, normally sells for $79.99, but in honor of the company's first-year App Store anniversary, it's on sale for $39.99. This half-off sale, which is good through Sunday, August 15, also extends to MobileNavigator USA (now $24.99); MobileNavigator Canada ($24.99); and MyRegion East, Central, and West ($14.99 each, down from $29.99). Navigon has discounted its prices for in-app purchases as well. Traffic Live, normally $24.99, is on sale for $12.99, while Panorama View 3D, which shows a more topographical view of your surroundings--and looks really cool--is now just $4.99. All versions of MobileNavigator Read More

The last time we took a look at Navigon’s MobileNavigator was back in December at version 1.4. Navigon released version 1.6 for the iPhone about a month ago, and if you haven’t heard the news, MobileNavigator turned one on August 12 and Navigon is having one heck of a sale to celebrate. So, let’s get caught up with what’s new in MobileNavigator. Version 1.5 Connection to Facebook and Twitter Panorama View 3-D Navigon MyRoutes Version 1.6: Weather Live “Clever Parking” Improved Destination Information Display Pedestrian Voice Guidance iPhone 4 Retina Display Enhancements Enhanced Reality View Pro and Street Name Text Latest NAVTEQ Maps iOS4 Background Support Ok, so Navigon has been pretty busy in the last 6 months. That is why this is an “epic” follow-up review. There is just so much ground to cover in this app! Of course, if you have followed the iPhone App Store’s turn by turn Read More

You’re going to have to be quick though, as these offers are valid for ‘a short time’, which looks to mean between today and the 15th August!  The promotion is being held to celebrate MobileNavigator’s first birthday and the fact they have gained 1 million-plus iPhone users. There are more than 20 MobileNavigator apps covering many different regions and countries and the offers appear to relate to most of the packages they sell.  To save you searching through the App Store to find them, we’ve listed several of the apps we know to have had the 50% discount applied and provided the iTunes links as usual: The last update provided support for iOS 4’s mulit-tasking feature along with live weather data and CleverParking, which helps identify parking spots when you arrive at your destination. Other NAVIGON maps include the Russia, South Africa, Brazil and Eastern Europe, so make sure you take Read More
