Live Traffic comes to Mobile Navigator

It's time for all these GPS companies to release something for use in other countries. US GPS services are already saturated.

That has disadvantages too. 2 devices instead of just 1, so more clutter. What happens when you want to charge your iPhone and your Sat Nav is hogging the power, or vice versa?

Not only that, but the Navigon app turns down your music before giving directions. You won't have that with 2 seperate devices.

Navigon is great. But there were times I was travelling through south UK and the GPS dropped- which is more an issue with the iPhone, not the Navigon app.
I just wish they'd improve their address search. Why do we have to start with City, then Road name, then house number? I would just like to be able to input either a city, post code, POI name, or road name, and it come up with results- simple! If you just have the POI name, or post code, it's very hard to find it with the present system.
Co-Pilot has a better system for this, but it unfortunately fails finding good routes and keeps losing track of where I am.

That seems like a total rip. You can get better traffic data from google including side streets for, um free. Having to have be a subscription is just ridiculous, a one time fee on top of the app fee is pretty iffy as it is.

my iphone is hooked up to my car audio via the usb/dock cable. can anyone tell me if these apps will do their audio through usb or is everyone just listening the the phones little speaker for the TTS?

Bought this app when it first came out, and could not be happier. We have a Garmin Nuvi 350 in one of our cars, and I like this a lot better (especially the posted speed limits).

Stupid question, but for the $20 extra for traffic... will the unit take this into consideration when calculating routes and look for a route with less traffic? Will it re-calculate a route mid-route if traffic builds up somewhere?

I'd assume so... but never had a GPS unit other than the Nuvi, which doesn't have traffic.

Damn...3 updates for Navigon and 0 for CoPilot.

after seeing the screenshot, i just had to comment. i certainly hope it's more accurate when using it for real because that isn't the long island expressway, that's the grand central parkway, heading east, not towards manhattan.

After reading this, and a ton of reviews on iTunes, I took the plunge. Just took it out for half an hour, and I have to say, it's pretty outstanding. At its highest volume I find the speaker distorts a tad, but other than that, it sounds great, looks great, works great and has eliminated yet another stand-alone device from my life.

There's not a whole lot left for the iPhone to replace... It's my GPS, my day planner, my camera (not always, but mostly), my laptop when traveling, my portable television, my CD collection, my radio, my compass, my police scanner, my voice memo recorder, my home cam monitor (iCam is awesome), my paperback (still working on adopting Kindle for iPhone...), my travel alarm clock... Oh. And my phone.

Yeah, AT&T's GPS is stupid unless you must have traffic now. I have used TomTom extensively and it's not so great. The maps with the Navigon seem just as accurate (the TTS moreso), they look better and navigon actually verbalizes which side of the street your destination is on whereas with TT it just has an arrow on the map. TomTom has slightly better "advanced planning" options, but Navigon's favorites list makes it easy to drive to multiple destinations. TT has better custom voices, but that's a small pro in my book. I think that TT is holding features back in order to keep sales of its stand alone units up, whereas Navigon is investing heavily in the iPhone since it was never a big player in the stand alone category. Also, Navigon's lifetime traffic is awesome and hopefully forces other nav developers to compete in this regard.
