Navigon 1.4

As the other fellow said, simply click the time remaining on the screen to toggle to the ETA.

As for the routing, before committing to the TomTom app, you can check out their routes on the current map by going to routes.tomtom.com

Personally I like the Tomtom routing better, but I miss the traffic function from Navigon.

Thanks. That's a handy comparison tool. TomTom does indeed route much more like what I'd actually do. I'm planning a longer trip for later today right now, and Navigon has me going virtually the opposite direction for the first leg of my trip to get me to the highway. Nobody who knew any better would EVER go this way - it adds 20 miles to the trip, and takes you through a couple extra towns! TomTom uses the realistic route. I can't get Navigon to use the proper route on any route profile. Grr.

Update - after my 500+ mile round trip.

Routing could definitely use some improvement. Weirdly, it usually correctly re-calculates the better route immediately after I start ignoring its directions and going the way I know. It doesn't even bother to try putting me back on the original route.

Also, after spending some time in Manhattan this weekend, I want to bring up the point about the compass again. When in heavy traffic while not moving, it often gets confused as to what the next turn is because it doesn't know what direction it is facing. This caused me to go the wrong way a couple of times. They could remedy this by using the compass.

Otherwise, it's a pretty impressive app and definitely a worthy replacement for my stand-alone device. Speed is dead on, and signal lock was not even a problem among the tall buildings in mid-town. Nice.

Help! Aide-moi! Aiuta mi!

I love the program and can't wait for 1.5 to drop. Here's a stupid question born from a running feud I've been having with iTunes help via email since the beginning of December. When you purchase the "Live Traffic" option, how can you tell? (aside from the fact that new directions are given, which isn't much help to me since we've just had a snow storm and traffic is minimal at best). When I go under "Extras" the "Navigon Traffic Live" now appears in green, but the price is still there.

Sorry for this question, but this has been driving me crazy for two months now. The iPhone doesn't think I "own" Navigon (in the past, when I've tried to purchase "Traffic Live" it tells me I must purchase the Navigon app first--same thing when I try the "Restore Purchases" option), even though after I restore the iPhone and try to repurchase Navigon, it tells me that I've already purchased it and would I like to download it for free.

Any help anyone can give me will make me immensely happy

as i recall, the "Navigon Traffic Live" was white before purchasing, then turned green after purchasing. Mine is currently green w/ price still displayed but i receive regular traffic data. hope that helps

Thank you so much for your help. I've been corresponding with a number of people at iTunes help, and none has been able to fix the problem yet. I restored the phone yet again and tried one last time to reload the Traffic Live extra. When it turned green, I thought it looked familiar, but I wasn't sure. Your post made my day--thank you so much!
