GPS on iPhone: Navigon MobileNavigator

image If you’re an iPhone user, I saw some new software mentioned on Engadget that is well worth sharing: MobileNavigator for iPhone by Navigon.  I’ll admit I own a Tom-Tom, and frequently use my built-in “Sprint Navigation” on my blackberry, but this software is by far the coolest navigation software I’ve seen to date.

If you check their website, you’ll see some of the cool features:

  • “Reality View Pro” – this attempts to show you what the roadway ahead will look like, making it easier to navigate junctions and exits (see the screenshot)
  • “Lane Assistant Pro” – helps you plan ahead for lane changes
  • Access to addresses within your iPhone contacts
  • Audio/Visual warnings about speed
  • Portrait or Landscape format
  • The usual accoutrements:  2D/3D maps, voice announcements, intelligent address entry, day/night mode, “take me home” function, multi-language.

It comes preloaded with maps for U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico, which is great if you’re a continental US traveler!   It appears there is also a European version (purchased separately via iTunes App Store), which could be handy if you travel overseas.

This one is definitely worth a look.  As always, Contact Me if you have questions!
