If you’re a regular reader of Appletell, you know we’re pretty much all fans of Navigon’s MobileNavigator GPS app. It’s pretty easy to understand when they offer us features such as a Reality Scanner and safety camera alerts, announced today. It’s even easier to understand when also announce a corresponding sale.

The NAVIGON iPhone Car Kit is designed to easily hold the iPhone 3G, 3GS and 4 so that it will reduce driver distraction and position the iPhone for better GPS reception by fixing it to the windshield. NAVIGON wants to put the focus on the iPhone and not on seeing the cradle itself. NAVIGON has also announced that they will be using INRIX to provide more comprehensive traffic information. INRIX uses real time traffic feeds and will allow NAVIGON to give you more routing options around congested areas thanks to a 76% increase in road coverage.

Within my lifetime, I’ve driven in two countries: The United States and Canada. Similarly, within my lifetime, I’ve been lost in two countries: The United States and Canada. I was without the benefit of Navigon’s MobileNavigator North America GPS app for the iPhone, but that need not be the case with you. Navigon has kindly offered us two free downloads of the North America version of their quite popular and well-reviewed MobileNavigator app, and suggested we pass them to along to you. So, we shall.

NAVIGON is offering a price reduction on all versions of MobileNavigator. Widely regarded as one of the best GPS apps available for the iPhone, NAVIGON features map material from NAVTEQ and offers numerous add-on features, such as live traffic information, 3D maps, Facebook and Twitter integration, and more. And through the end of September, you can get it all for $10.00 less than normal.

Geotagging photos has become more popular with the advent of GPS in cameras and location based social networks. Buying the right camera with a GPS sensor in it can be expensive, and even if you do get a camera with this sensor, the accuracy sometimes isn’t all that great. However, if you have a DSLR camera and an iPhone with GeoLogTag installed, that’s all you need to geotag your photos easily.

Your car offers you quite a few options for GPS placement: windshield, dashboard, etc. Which option is better for your vehicle and your personal driving style? You’re likely not going to know that until you’ve tried them all, so you may as well buy a mounting system that combines multiple options in one. Arkon Resources’ IPM515 and IPM514 Mobile Mounting Systems do just that, but not without some inconveniences.

One year ago today Navigon’s Mobile Navigator debuted on the App Store. It’s arguably the best turn by turn guidance app available and the one that I consistently recommend. And it’s even easier to recommend it when they do something awesome like slash their prices by half across the board. That’s right, you can get any of Navigon’s Mobile Navigator apps or add-ins half off until August 15th.

iOS 4.0 introduced a number of great features, not least of which involves background location services. This allows apps such as Navigon to continue guiding you even when you use different apps on your iPhone. But you’d be surprised how many apps use location services, and sometimes you just don’t know which app is causing that purple navigation icon. Fear not, there is a way…

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. Even better, for the first 12 days from launch date, MobileNavigator will be selling at the promotion price of $49.99 (regularly $79.99).

Today, Navigon announced another App Store first with MyRegion, a guidance app with in-app map purchases in the U.S. MyRegions has all of the great features from the North American version of MobileNavigator that made it the best navigation app on the App Store. But what makes MyRegion different is that you can buy the maps that you need, when you need them, from inside of the app.
