Navigon MobileNavigator and iPhone, a formidable duo.

Friday, July 24th, 2009

navigon-mobilenavigator-iphoneNavigon has again won yet another race to being the best choice among navigation gadgets. With the MobileNavigator App for iPhone recently released and now available at Apple’s AppStore, Navigon has again edged by miles its competitors.
Since the release of the iPhone 3.0 software, all other companies have stated their support for the updated platform that opens new possibilities, and Navigon just made its support concrete and comfy for a multitude of iPhone users.
The MobileNavigator is the first turn-by-turn navigation application in Europe with price pegged at £54.99. The device features, among others, landscape and portrait support, the much amusing and helpful Reality View Pro and that special function where users can auto-resume following a phone call. The latest addition to Navigon’s showcase of products also has 2D and 3D display features.
Many users and loyal Navigon followers are thankful for the auto-resume ability of the gadget. This is because iPhones are not made for multi-tasking. Hence, when one takes a call, a running application should be exited from whenever calls are being made or taken. But with the auto-resume feature, MobileNavigator will sure be the most preferred in the market.
The device also comes with Real Road sign pro, the Lane Assistant Pro, and the Speed Assistant which are remarkable guides to driving like a pro – and safely! The MobileNavigator also has the day and night mode among its key features where the driving and riding public can gain easier access whatever time of day they want to. Users can also get the options of displaying points of POIs along their routes.
Many Navigon device users are also eager for latest developments from the manufacturer after hearing that a free, lite version will be released soon, and will come without the active route guidance.
