Full-featured Navigon MobileNavigator gets temporary price cut

Where is the iPad version? Is Navigon going to charge again for it?

with a very capable NDrive is sold at 32.99, how could those big boys hold their high price anymore.

One other feature that a good navigation app should have is a voice command feature. Entry of destination and all commands are by voice. No button punching along with, of course voice guidance on the route.

As far as I know, none of the apps in the app store has this voice command capability.

In this respect the navigation apps in the app store are from back in the 90's.

I am thinking that navigation apps will hit their stride when they are $9.99 or less to buy with $4.99 or less annual upgrades that are available but not required.

TomTom is also on sale.

I already have a built int GPS in the car, but putting it on a 9 inch screen with 3D and live traffic updates would be awesome. That would essentially mean I do not need to be able to look out my windshield or use headlights when driving at night. Very cool!

After 6 months with Navigon I STILL think it SUCKS compared to a dedicated garmin unit. I STILL think at $50 it is overpriced for what it does, although it's closer to what I'd consider fair/reasonable pricing of $20-40. I still however think it's the best GPS app for the iPhone... just not a 50 dollar app.

#1 The POI database SUCKS... seriously NOTHING I search for that isn't a fast food chain EVER is found... Thank god they added google search, that's actually useful.

#2 At version 1.6 they STILL can't display podcasts from within the app, you ca start them and then return to the app with them playing, but not

One wonders how many more copies of software like this would be purchased if the price were $6.99 instead of $49.99.

Eventually, someone will try the micro price, and it would not surprise me to learn that they sell 100X the current or higher price point.

Price perception is logarithmic. Ask yourself: What sounds better: $5,000 or $250? No mystery there.

But which product is better: The one that costs $0.50 or the one that costs $0.69? Now you start asking questions.

But that's the so-called Big Deal spread from Navigon. They're trying to tell you that it's a "THIRTY DOLLAR SAVINGS", and that makes me think they're trying to railroad me into buying a second-rate product. Or hook me into buying those extras they sell.

If the base unit were under $10, I might get it as an impulse buy, along with 100 times as many other customers, but as it is, the lowered price simply makes me question the value structure.

I'll pass.

I just am sick of the fact that the "My Region" version of the app still doesnt have the 3d view available. (v1.5?)

I'm pretty sure I paid $59.99 at one time. At $50, it's a no-brainer.
