I think that's right, but I've already paid for the Tomtom app]]>Feb 9th 2010 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/Feb 9th 2010 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/Feb 9th 2010 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/Feb 9th 2010 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/Feb 9th 2010 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/
I have the Car kit. Yes it works w/ any NAV app. I've been using it with Waze. I'm thinking Navigon deserves my money. Tomtom and Garmin haven't put out any updates in recent memory.

I have Co-Pilot, Navman and TomTom on the iPhone, but only TomTom gives me reliable routes thanks to IQ Routes. Navman and Co-Pilot has been deleted.

Navman looks very nice with the 3D hills (which is only displayed in a small fraction of the map) but if the routing is not up to scratch then I'll stick with TomToms basic view and better routing.]]>Mar 30th 2010 6:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/Mar 30th 2010 6:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/Mar 30th 2010 6:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/Feb 9th 2010 8:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/I was running this app on TMO and it was fine.

Nice concept but I'm not convinced the implementation has been fully thought through. It sounds to me that they went with Facebook and Twitter so that they can advertise the product to have "social networking" and both services are currently considered "cool" by the media.]]>Feb 9th 2010 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/Feb 9th 2010 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/Feb 9th 2010 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/Feb 9th 2010 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/Navigon is coming to Android but the Google nav doesn't hold a candle to this app. ]]>Feb 9th 2010 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/
I would agree. Google Nav is really a cool idea but its certainly not anything I would consider a finished product. I have both a droid and a Garmin and I use the Garmin over GNav any day of the week. Its just to inaccurate whereas a Garmin or something else can really drill down to the exact location.

With that being said the times I have had to use my google nav when I've been in a car without my Garmin it has saved me a whole bunch.]]>Feb 9th 2010 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/Feb 9th 2010 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/Feb 9th 2010 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/Feb 9th 2010 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/

The only problem is that, as far as I can see, 1.5 is not out yet. What you get for the reduced price is 1.4.

If not, what do you have to do to get 1.5 ?]]>Feb 10th 2010 1:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/navigon-keeps-mobilenavigator-iphone-app-fresh-with-3d-terrain-v/

I have the latest version of the Navigon MobileNavigator North America. (v 1.5.0) This application is on the latest iPhone software (v 3.1.3)

I recently paid for the in-app add-on, Panorama View 3D.

After downloading twice, (used Wi-Fi with app open) I cannot get this application to function.
The regular 3D works flawlessly!

I don't think it downloads properly, as during my second attempt, I let
the app download for 7 hours only to see that the DOWNLOADING button
was still unchanged. (There never was a progress bar showing percent complete?)

Trying the program after the download did show a broader skyline,
however, the streets were skewed and the image was flat not 3D.
Since I live in a mountainous area, I was very disappointed that the image
was not displaying correctly.

Any ideas for fixing this Panorama View 3D issue?


Thanks for your assistance.
