So Navigon have released 1.1.0 a day or two ago. So have they fixed the problems that I believe made it usless ?
Post Code Search
Still only able to search on the first 5 characters of a UK post code. So it’s a right pain when quickly trying to find somewhere. BROKEN
Decent Call Support
The ability to sort and take a phone call without completely killing the navigation. A call comes in and right away you loose the direction screen. Very handy if you’re using it to navigate somewhere ! BROKEN
GPS Stability
On a motorway the bar at the top of the screen turns red and you loose the signal. Can’t see why so just leave the Navigator to pic the signal back up again. If your lucky it will, however 2 out of 3 times you need to exit to the home screen and reload the software. Then you get the signal right away so it’s not the signal rather the lovely software. BROKEN
Map Data
Still using map data that’s at least 4 years old … great 
. BROKEN
Exit / Crashing
This one is new to me, but on a 2 hour journey today a number of times the device dropped back to the iPhone Home screen. No calls came in and it was happily powered on a car cradle but at least 5 times it just gave up. NEW FAULT
And before someone comments. Before the install of this version I erased and setup the phone from scratch. It’s not jailbroken and a 3GS. Would love to know the fixes ….. but doubt there are any ! Worth the money … what do you think ?
Will TomTom be any better or is GPS on the iPhone just impossible ?
I have used Navigon for the past 6 weeks or so – excellent piece of software. Removed my TomTom and it’s now on eBay. The author of this blog must be a sales person for TomTom!!
Cheers for your comment fje. Nope I don’t work for TomTom (would have leaked the software online before now if I did).
Are you saying that you have none of the above problems ? If so there should be some form of tech support offered by the software manufatures to assist people with problems. The FAQ on their site is one way communication and really doesn’t cut it.
So I’m guessing your Navigator software has newer maps how did you get them ? How did you enable better call support ? Is there a full post code add on then ?
