Navigon cuts price of MyRegion version for a limited time

If you were about to buy one of the MyRegions Navigon GPS apps for the iPhone, don't press that 'buy' button just yet. In honor of WWDC, Navigon will make the normally U.S. $29.99 version just $14.99 from June 1 through June 11. That's a big savings on one of the premier nav apps. The MyRegions versions cover the Western, Central and Eastern U.S., so if you are going to buy, make sure you get the correct version.

All versions include functions such as Reality View Pro, Google Local Search, Lane Assistant Pro, Enhanced Pedestrian Mode, NAVIGON MyRoutes and much more. Of course you get text to speech, and either a flat or perspective view of your route. All these features are described in detail at the links above for each version.

In addition, you can add other regions of the country with an in-app purchase. During the sale, additonal regions are $9.99 instead of the usual $14.99. Buyers can also add Traffic Live services (which will update traffic notices in real-time) for a one-time subscription cost of $19.99. If you buy, note that the entire U.S. will download to your iPhone, which is 1.4GB, so make sure you've got the room. If you go to add a region or two, you'll just unlock the data already installed on your phone.


We've given really high praise to the Navigon family of apps for quite some time. If you were on the edge, this sale should push you over. Wait for June 1 and reap the savings. The previous best sale price on the regional apps was $24.99, so $14.99 really is a bargain.

The apps run on iPhone version 3.0 or greater. They can be used on first generation iPhones or the iPod touch with additional GPS hardware accessories, and run on their own with the iPhone 3G or 3GS.
