Navigon AG, the leading innovator in the navigation market, recently released its MobileNavigator software for North America for the iPhone. Now till August 15, the application is available for $69.99, after which time the price will go up to $99.99.

MobileNavigator, unlike AT&T’s Navigator application, does not require a monthly subscription. This is a one time fee and the maps are built-in; no more waiting for downloads.

It transforms any iPhone equipped with iPhone OS 3.0 into a complete navigation device. It includes many of NAVIGON’s signature features such as turn-by-turn directions, voice assistance, Reality View Pro, Lane Assistant Pro, Speed Assistant and Day & Night Mode.

NAVIGON has also implemented typical iPhone functions into its application such as an automatic switch between portrait and landscape view.

MobileNavigator is the first on-board iPhone navigation system launched by a major navigation company. While everyone eagerly awaits to see what TomTom comes out with, why not give this one a try.
