NAVIGONs new Latest Map Guarantee provides customers the latest NAVTEQ map available when purchasing NAVIGON 2.0 for iPhone.

NAVIGON FreshMaps XL:
The in app purchase option FreshMaps provides quarterly map updates for at least two years. The service uses trusted, field-verified, and quality-controlled map and points of interest updates from NAVTEQ to make sure the NAVIGON app provides the most accurate and reliable directions possible. This saves you time and headaches on the road.

NAVIGON MyMaps:
NAVIGON MyMaps allows you to carry only the country maps you currently need. Meaning you have more memory space for photos, music and other apps.

Please note the following:
Positioning your iPhone correctly in the vehicle is very important to ensure optimal GPS reception! We recommend that you use the NAVIGON Design Car Kit for the iPhone, which includes both a designer suction pad holder and a car charger, enabling you to charge your iPhone during the journey. Available from specialist retailers or from the NAVIGON shop directly at www.navigon.com!

Should you experience GPS reception problems with your iPhone, please refer to the FAQ on our website: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.

What's New in Version 2.0.2

Version 2.0.2

✓ Bugfix for FreshMaps: If you purchased FreshMaps, but could not subsequently download the latest maps, this problem has now been fixed.
✓ Bugfix for Active Lane Assistant
✓ Performance optimization with the Reality Scanner feature
✓ Improved: New setting which allows the user to switch the country border information on or off
✓ New setting available to enable download via WiFi/WLAN only, or via 3G data connection

*****

Version 2.0.1 includes the following optimizations and new features (for details on map updates, please see below):

✓ Resolved initial server connection issues for downloading maps
✓ Favorites and recent destinations will now appear automatically after application is updated
✓ Reintroduced the integrated iPod control in response to customer feedback
✓ Added “select all” option in map manager to download all maps at one time
✓ Improved VoiceOver support (for visually impaired)
✓ Further UI refinements

Version 2.0 included a new map update feature called FreshMaps. FreshMaps is a premium service that NAVIGON adapted from their successful line of PNDs (personal navigation devices) in Europe, whereby for a fee, users can get the latest maps every three months for a period of at least two years. The introduction of this service into the app was planned prior to Garmin’s acquisition of NAVIGON.

Prior to the launch of FreshMaps, free map updates were provided on an irregular basis. In response to customer feedback, we will continue to deliver occasional free map updates in addition to the optional FreshMaps service, which provides more regular and frequent (quarterly) map updates. Note that FreshMaps also upgrades regional versions, such as MyRegion or USA, to the full North American map.

*****

New features in NAVIGON 2.0:

✓ Fully refined and even easier to use UI
✓ Free map update for all
✓ FreshMaps
✓ MyMaps: Carry only the maps you need. After installing the app the maps need to be downloaded separately. This requires an internet connection.

Customer Reviews

Update Removed Western Maps?!?!? (1 star)
I purchased the western maps cause I live in the west coast. Yet with the new update it completely removed the maps and I can't get them back.

I had to delete the app then reinstall all the maps again (very annoying). Even worse, I got an update notice saying that the maps have been updated. So I decided to update them . . . And guess what, the maps were removed again?!?!?!? I had to repeat the process all over again. Please fix thi

VERY buggy after 2.0 update (2 stars)
I purchased the West Coast module last year, and then an in-app purchase of the Central States. After updating to 2.0 the western states are gone from my phone and the app store in iTunes shows that I need to "purchase" western states again. (I've tried shutting down the phone, loading and reloading, etc.). Went to customer service on the Navigon web page and guess what? Bad link (proxy error) on two separate web browsers. Shame, '

Unfortunate (1 star)
Just as some others have indicated, I purchased the USA west region and loved the app so I purchased the other regions. With the 2.0 release I can't get the maps loaded. I have some western states along with Virginia and Rhode Island. I can't explain it given that I've downloaded all the maps. It's unfortunate because this was a great app.
