Navigon’s MobileNavigator 1.6 is now available in the iTunes App Store, bringing with new features such as Live Weather, Clever Parking, updated NAVTEQ maps, Destination Information Display, Pedestrian Mode Voice Guidance and Enhanced Reality View Pro. NAVIGON MyRegion users will also be happy to know they’ll reach the same feature level as MobileNavigator North America.
Even better, for the first 12 days from launch date, MobileNavigator will be selling at the promotion price of $49.99 (regularly $79.99).
- Live Weather updates and reports current weather conditions along the route and at the destination in real-time. Ensuring no unpleasant surprises, temperature and weather condition icons appear in the route overview screen before and during navigation.
- Clever Parking gives drivers the advantage of knowing where and what the best parking options are available around the upcoming location. When approaching the destination, a “P” icon appears in the map view. In one tap an easy to scroll list of all available parking options are available, including distance from location for easy decision-making.
- The Destination Information Display provides an at-a-glance overview and summary of information pertaining to the destination. Users can customize what is shown in settings/options, such as parking locations, weather information and specific POIs such as all the restaurants at around the upcoming destination. This delivers an overview of everything important ahead of time, so they know what to expect and where to go when arriving.
- Pedestrian Mode Voice Guidance delivers voice directions as well as voiceover menu guidance. In pedestrian mode users get the same “turn-by-turn” directions as if they were behind the wheel, and can set the voice support to handle navigating within the applications menu options for a more hands free experience.
- Reality View 3D has also been enhanced with a new look.
Compatible with iOS 4, update 1.6.0 includes the much anticipated multitasking* compatibility, which provides continuous navigation and turn-by-turn directions while running other applications simultaneously. Users can, take a call without sacrificing navigation. While on the go, and receiving a call, the voice guided turn-by-turn directions automatically turn down, heard only by the driver and one tap lets the screen continue routing and navigation information in the map mode. MobileNavigator runs in the background when accessing other apps and functionalities of the iPhone, so the app can continue to automatically calculate and update routing information and provide voice guided turn-by-turn directions. When switching back to MobileNavigator, the user picks up exactly the place where left. The update also includes enhanced Retina display buttons and icons for the iPhone 4.
MobileNavigator—equipped with maps of North America from NAVTEQ®—is available for $49.99 in the Apple App Store for 12 days from launch, after which time it’ll sell for $79.99. Version 1.6.0 is compatible with iPhone 4, 3GS and 3G. The app also runs on first generation iPhone and iPod Touch, but third party accessories for GPS reception are required for these devices.
