They are ... I was driving through Seattle the other day, and an alert dynamically appeared based on upcoming traffic situation ... it actually showed me a couple of alternate routes w/ travel time trade-offs, and I picked one ... it's not the most intuitive or easy to use (needs some improvements) - but it was helpful ...
Got a tip for us?

Navigon is great provided you have a 3Gs. For those of us with a 3G, the interface is so laggy its damn near unusable.
I don't recall NAVIGON tweeting about a US release.
Regarding any holdup, it's only been a week.
Sure some apps seem to have been approved pretty fast lately, but in the past the review process has taken ~2 weeks, so I wouldn't get too worried just yet.
It seems that each version of NAVIGON is reviewed independently of each other, and unfortunetly the US version is sitting on someones desk that is more slow than the other reviewers!
I am pretty sure Apple is a little more strict about US releases? I don't know just a thought
MobileNavigator iPhone Update 1.4.0 available now ! Find the press release here: http://tinyurl.com/ydewcxq
looks like it might be talking about Europe version. So my bad.
Yup
incedently NAVIGON has a seperate Twitter account now or US. I believe it's NAVIGON_US
.....are you talking about when you update your phone from a 3g to a 3gs ?
...because that is the best solution.
Get a refurbished one, the deals DO come around.
I do sympathize for 3G owners, because the app sure is darn slow on my wife's 3G.
But then again EVERYTHING seems to be extremely slow on the 3G. Once you use a 3GS, you will hate picking up a 3G for anything.
