Available from specialist retailers or from the NAVIGON shop directly at www.navigon.com!

Allowing GPS to run in the background for extended periods can lead to a significant reduction in battery life.

Whether in the car, by bike or on foot, NAVIGON hopes you have fun navigating.

Pros and cons of NAVIGON North America app for iPhone and iPad

NAVIGON North America app good for

Best Navigation I ever had, better than most fix mounted systems. The only problem, if youve shielded screens, so the GPS had trouble to get enough signalstrength. But its well known at all inside systems not using an external Antenna. Regards Mike
no data used at all. perfect for me when traveling to usa and outside of my cell carrier area. Would be nice to have folders in our favorite to sort everything
Hotfix to 2.10.1 fixed all my issues. Now works perfectly on IOS 7.1.2.
Great option if you want a good GPS that doesnt need any cellular data.
I did a lot of research when choosing a GPS app and Im very happy I chose this one. Yes, once in a while you have issues with what route it chooses to send you but the same thing can be said for every GPS app out there, free or paid. The main advantage of this app is the offline maps capability. In northern BC, there are lots of areas between towns with no cell coverage so Apple or Google maps wont help you there folks. And when we traveled down through the U.S., we didnt have to buy a data plan in order to use online maps. Offline maps and a nice UI make this a great app.
I have been using Navigon since its inception. Now Garmin owns this company and they have been continuing to update it with new features. Its actually more popular than their own Garmin app. Pros - Great offline maps, download only the province/state you need. - Navigation works very well, easy to understand - New search bar works well - Optional routes are shown if available - Reliable, does not crash Cons - Does not replace Google Maps or Apple Maps - New "Acoustic bend warning" is extremely annoying, turn this off in Sounds. - While driving on the highway express lane in Toronto it will alert you to stay there every exit to the collectors. I have to turn off announcements for this area. - Traffic data is not as easy to understand as Google/Apple maps. - Map updates are no longer free. Although they do seem to release an update every couple of years. I always use this app when driving up north or in the U.S., otherwise I choose Google/Apple Maps. I have a large data plan and I find Google/Apple quicker for everyday usage.

Some bad moments

Could be great except that most often it will not locate you with the GPS while other apps like Maps, G-Maps, Google Earth and many others do it without any problem. Then goes in a simulation mode so useless without a passenger!
In this version the spoken directions do not include the names of streets in which to turn. It only says turn right or turn left. This is very frustrating.
Instead if adding gimmick features, when will the app support an indispensable feature for a change, a scale bar on 2D maps? Or am I the only remaining dinosaur around still using 2D maps?
Wow, I cant believe an app of this price will route me via detours of 1 to 2 hours just to stay on the freeway... It would make the drive to my parents house 5.5 hours instead of the 4 it should be.
Just updated. iPhone 5S. App keep crashing on startup even after a reboot of the phone itself. Unusable.
With new navigon update app does not open and crashes right away. Please fix and test before any new updates. Using iphone 5 ios 7.1.2
