Posted: 24 Jul 2009 01:55 PM PDT

Q: What is up? A: Navigons successful MobileNavigator app is just released with North American maps USA and Canada.(see the release of the European version HERE). The app works on a iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G S. Q: That is cool, but the question is: How much? A: You are lucky US $69,99 This price is valid only until August 15. Grab your copy HERE for this special price. (After that, it will be priced at US $99,99) Q: What do I get for that money? A: For that money, you have a Turn-by-Turn navigation device incorporated in your iPhone. It will instruct you via screen and via a voice where to drive to and when to turn. We think Navigon won again from TomTom by releasing this great N-America version. TomTom is only announcing with a '''Coming Soon" on their site Navigon releasing real stuff available now. Q: What app do you get exactly? A: With the NAVIGON MobileNavigator (1,29 Gbytes!!) 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.
