Navigon drops price but fumbles Google integration
December 17th, 2009
The Navigon Mobile Navigator [iTunes link] has become my favorite GPS app for the car. Great graphics, text-to-speech, auto night mode, and traffic integration.
Today, Navigon dropped the price 30 dollars to U.S. $59.99 and added Google search. That’s a great idea, because the self contained GPS apps have static databases that tend to age quickly. Navigon solved that problem by integrating a Google search to their app, which gives you the advantages of on-board maps coupled with the most up to date POI information.
