Since our review of the Navigon navigation for the iPhone back in July, Navigon has come out with already two major updates.
This 2nd free upgrade includes now the extra following function within the navigation app;
- Text-to-Speech (spoken street names)
- seamless integration of iPod functions. (You can now switch between library iPod and Navigation)
- Location sharing (share your location with other users by e-mail. This link in the e-mail will start the application)
- The day and night mode(different screen colors and brightness) of the screen are now automatically based on location and time.
These are great new added updates. Especially the Text to speech with the street names in conjunction with the turn by turn. The Navigon MobileNavigator is looking more and more as a full blood navigation system.
Take a look at the following screenshots where you can see how integrated iPod function looks like on your screen.
The following screen shots shows you the location sharing functionality.
The Navigon solution sells for $89.99 in the Apple App Store and is equipped with maps of North America from NAVTEQ
