With the NAVIGON MobileNavigator you can transform your iPhone into a fully functional mobile navigation system that is every bit as good as the multi-award-winning personal navigation devices from NAVIGON in terms of its user-friendliness and features.
Thanks to a faithful adaptation of the menu functions, the NAVIGON MobileNavigator fits in seamlessly with the operating concept of the iPhone. The application includes the latest map material from the market leader NAVTEQ and can be used without an Internet connection, which is of enormous benefit abroad, for example, as no extra charges are incurred.
Features and range of functions:
- Simple, intuitive user interface
- Can be used in portrait and landscape format
- Precise voice announcements
- Intelligent address entry
- Reality View Pro (realistic display of motorway interchanges and exits)
- Lane Assistant Pro
- Real signpost display
- Speed Assistant with adjustable audio-visual warning
- Day and night mode for map display
- Direct access and navigation to contacts saved in the iPhone’s address book
- The latest NAVTEQ map material
- Navigation is automatically resumed after an incoming phone call
- 2D and 3D map displays (bird’s-eye view)
- Quick access to user-defined POIs in the area and along the route
- Take Me Home function with a single click
- Automatic language selection to match the iPhone’s user language
Included maps:
USA (incl. Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands), Canada
IF YOU ENCOUNTER DIFFICULTIES REGARDING THE GPS RECEPTION OF YOUR IPHONE PLEASE CHECK THE FAQ SECTION AT OUR WEB SITE www.navigon.com/iPhone.
Whether in the car, by bike or on foot, NAVIGON hopes you have fun navigating. ...More

OUTSTANDING JUST GET IT
By:
Atkinson
Version: 1.0.0
1st comment on the other negative reviews. Play with the app and explore, most of the items your requesting are built in. Try settings! 2nd this application is so fast GPS locks in several seconds. Clear easy to read display great voice turn by turn! It is worth every dollar! Last regarding TomTom here is what is going to happen. TomTom wants the sales revenue and wants to share as little as of the money with apple that it can get a way with. So they will sell you a TomTom app for $10 or $20 (apple gets a smaller amount) now you have to go get theTomTom window mount with GPS and a speaker. Let's see $99.99 this means TomTom gets to keep all the money. BTW if I have to carry a window mount/gps I will just keep using my old GPS device, why get any app. I want one device to do it all not carry additional accessories. So if Navigon can get the GPS working well (it does) why can't TomTom; oh greed to make more money! Navigon thanks for all the hard work on this application. I love it.
Pretty good so far.

By:

Version: 1.0.0
I've been using Navigon products as well as iGo 8 (which Navigon is based on). I have iGo8 on Windows Mobile and I was expecting the same thing. This app does not have 3D terrain mapping nor does it have 3D building landmarks. You can play iPod music in the background but it does not mute when announcements are made. Hence, I am giving this 3 stars. If it had TTS, Muted Music, 3D/Building/Terrain, I would give it 5 stars. Furthermore, it would be ideal if this downloaded traffic updates and had other GPS features like a speedometer, mileage tracker. I do like the Reality Pro lane feature. Bottom Line : This is a basic GPS app for the iPhone and well worth the $70. Unfortunately,It has the same tech as a 5 year old GPS system.
Finally, a nav app that makes sense!

Foolishly, I bought 2 others navigation apps & found I had to trash them because they were so bad. Their routing was terribly off, their UI was confusing, their features lacking. Unfortunately there was no "Lite" or free version of these to test out before buying them. I tried the Lite (free) version of Navigon for USA & it looked good from what I could see, so I went for it & I'm very glad I did.

Downloaded the app today to help me get to a specific location. The app could not find the street address, but the built in map program found it with no problem. These guys screwed me out of $70.00 - hope you feel good about it! Now i understand why you no longer sell your gps units in the usa - you don't know what you are doing.

Good start, poor POI
By:
Juriswilliams
Version: 1.0.0
As far as Nav apps go this one is clean, fairly (not prestinely) accurate, and quick to load. Easy to understand interface and easy to use on the road. The speech is very clear and concise and I enjoy being able to have my music play as the navigator is giving turn directions. Why 2 stars then? One very important, very crucial feature is fatally flawed. This nav apps POI is unforgivably out of date. I did a search on over 60 local resturants,bars,gas stations, museums, movie theatres, etc. Of those 60, 20 were new within the last 2 years. It did not find a single 1 of them. Of the 40 remaining, 20 of them were new locations within the last 3 years. It found 6 of the 10 of them. Of the remaining 20, the locations were over 5 years old. It found every one of them. I date the POI on this somewhere between 3 and 4 years old. Compare this to AT&T Navigator that was 100% on POI. Beware if you're a big user of POI because it also found locations that were out of business for over 3 years as well. DO NOT RELY on their POI at this time. 3-4 year old, inaccurate data is not worth $69.99, let alone the $99 they will be asking shortly. However, if they get this fixed, I would gladly and without hesitation revise my rating to 5 stars.
No GPS reception
By:
webkms
Version: 1.0.0
While the Google maps app is able to acquire a GPS signal all the time, I had very little luck so far to get this app to acquire a signal.
Even when it claims to have a signal it shows my position in the wrong place (I.e. hundreds of yards off). When I verify this with Google maps it shows me in the right position.
As far as I am concerned this app fails in the most basic way a navigation app can fail: It can't tell where you are. This makes it utterly useless. Until this is resolved I can only recommend to not buy it. I did read Navigon's recommendation to reset the phone. I find this completely unacceptable - especially given that Google maps work just fine.

iPhone app works fine. This does not. Tech support works even less with a less than perfect blow off. Do not buy. You have been warned.

No GPS signal in Boston

Like many others, I can't get any GPS reception on my iPhone 3gs, anywhere in the greater Boston area, even when outside my car, with a clear view of the sky. Google maps and AT&T Navigator have no problem, nor do any of my other GPS-aware apps.
GPS very hard to get a lock

Good luck trying to get a GPS lock or keep it consistant. Really too bad. FYI none of the fixes you will try on the creators site work, however they are a real pain to do. Dont buy yet, im going for my $$$ back for sure.
Won't get a signal

Despite being in an open area, and waiting for 10 minutes without moving, I could not get the software to get a good enough signal to actually give me navigation instructions. It was happy to run a simulation, but that's useless when actually driving.
Not working for me yet

I've installed the app on my iPhone, did the reset as described on the NAVTEQ website, but like others, keep getting the red bar across the top. Google maps app loads instantly, but this app keeps saying that it is unable to find my location. I'll keep trying, but hopefully I can be reimbursed if it won't work.
Only works on map mode

The navigation portion of this software doesn't work. When entering a destination it constantly states there's no GPS signal but if you go to the GPS info the latitude, longitude and even the SPEED shows in the apps info. If you go to map mode it tracks your location perfectly, yet going back to the navigation mode gives the same error.
Can't find GPS signal? What!?

I jumped the gun on this app due to its glowing European counterpart and for some reason it can't get a gps signal. The Maps app works right away while this can't find a signal after drive for a half an hour through city and suburbs. On the Navigon website FAQ's they say to backup the iPhone to your computer (which may take up to a few hours) and reset everything on my phone then install it all back onto it. What!? I just paid $70 for this and I can't use my phone because I have to back it up and reset it? I will give it more stars if they resolve this issue in an easy manner, but for now ONE STAR!
Having GPS troubles

Even though Navigon has exited the US market for handheld portable GPS products I thought I would try the software. The Software looks great but either it is my new 3gs unit or the software because running the Navigon software I am unable to maintain a consistent GPS lock. The software gets a lock for 1 or 2 minutes but then loses GPS lock for up to 5 minutes. By the way, my Garmin GPS sitting on the seat next to me in my car maintains a perfect GPS lock. Also Apple maps works fine but I am not sure if Apple maps is using GPS or getting its coordinate from cell towers. Hopefully this new software has only a minor bug that will be fixed shortly. At the moment it is useless for navigation.
flat out does not work

The Navigon program cannot get a GPS signal -- even in the middle of a field, outdoors, with blue sky all around (guaranteed line of sight to at least eight GPS satellites). The iPhone native maps app gets GPS signal just fine, so the problem is not the GPS chip in the phone -- it's something specific to Navigon that's broken. I see that some folks have reported similar problems, while others have given glowing reviews -- so perhaps there's some lot-to-lot variability in the GPS chip output that the native maps app can handle but the Navigon app cannot. But the bottom line, for me and several other reviewers, is that Navigon DOES NOT WORK *AT ALL*. Hope I can return it...
Would be great but.

Come on folks. Why release a program that can't find a gps signal and then suggest that a user spend hours resetting memory in order to make it work.

Fairly basic GPS product. While it may get you where you're going, the time estimate it provides is meaningless -- it seems to think there's a helicopter waiting on the roof to take you there. Without traffic info, I'm surprised they would even include an ETA as it serves no purpose.

After travelling appr. 2000km with the Europe version I'm so happy the North America software is also available now! Downloading the 1.3GB took some time but - as expected - was worth the wait.
Very Promising; Would Benefit from Some Improvements

After reading many horror stories about the GPS Nav apps that preceeded this one on the app store, I was quite skeptical. I have been pleasantly surprised. Tracking is great, recalculation is decent (see below), and the app is easy to use. I would have given this app four stars, but decided to give it five to balance out all the ridiculous one star reviews.
