The latest NAVTEQ map material with coverage for:
USA
Furthermore it's now also possible to receive regular, quarterly map updates through Fresh Maps XL.

Latest Map Guarantee:
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

Freshmaps inapp purchase?? I already paid for that! (1 star)
I bought this app for a ridiculous amount because it promised lifetime map updates. Now, short time later, I need to pay for map updates again???

Don't get this app! Just a matter of time before they screw you over, too! Don't let brand names fool you. Plenty of equally good alternatives.

I long to return to the days before 2.0! (2 stars)
The last build, before 2.0 came to be, was just awesome for those people like myself who use Apple's VoiceOver to navigate the iPhone. When 2.0 appeared, Navigon was extremely sluggish when attempting to use it with VoiceOver. With subsequent updates, there have been minor improvements, but the sluggishness has not improved. Perhaps this new iteration is loaded with eye candy, but it sure has gotten clunky to use. Get it together guys! This

I want a refund! (1 star)
Don't tell me that I will get free map updates for life and then take that option away and nickel and dime me to death!

This is completely unacceptable! Why turn such a great product into a worthless app? I hope that enough people ask for a refund to show you that what you have done is wrong.

We will not blindly sit idle while you try and take each customer for as much as you can!

Here's a great idea, go back to t
