Thank you for the update!

Navigon has been my go-to Mac app since I first used it way back on the iPhone 3GS. Not even the mighty Google can top it, in my opinion. When Garmin purchased Navigon and came out with the Víago app -- which I also use -- I worried that maybe Navigon would be forsaken. Im so glad I was wrong!

While I will admit that I do like how Víago has a better display of street names on the map, better scaling of the map as turns and destinations come up, and makes MUCH better choices about routing around traffic... I still find I prefer Navigon features and behavior for everything else. I especially loathe how Víago handles map download selections, when it chooses to announce upcoming turns, and how it displays that information (its gotten me lost several times). Nothing beats Navigons active lane guidance and Im really enjoying the new street sign display, and THANK YOU for bigger/more readable speed limit displays!

My only real peeve about Navigon? It has this very obnoxious habit of deciding that traffic is moving too slowly on the highway and giving me a "detour," where it takes me off at an exit and then asks me to get right back onto the highway. Really?! And this has been an issue for years now. What really struck me recently was that a particular detour Ive gotten used to with Víago was missed by Navigon, which instead decided after asking me to exit the highway that really it was better to get back on. (Sigh)

Dont backtrack, Garmin!! Take the small number of things that Viago does better and bring them back to Navigon. Of the two products, this one is far closer to perfection, in my opinion having used them both.
