Navigon’s MobileNavigator for iPhone software has received an update, with users being able to upgrade their software with a set of free additional features which include Text-to-Speech, the iPod Control, Location Sharing and automatic switching between day and night mode.
The Windows Mobile version of Navigon’s Mobile Navigator 7 software offers quite a few differences from the Symbian version we first reviewed a couple of months ago.
Whilst the Symbian version concentrated on providing a solution for pedestrian users foremost (with its true pedestrian profile) and road navigation second, the PDA’s role is completely the opposite and brings to the table a host of features that are normally found on their dedicated PND models, such as text-to-speech.
