Navigon MobileNavigator 1.6 update now live

[mrjayd]

after you choose a destination it has the weather info on the screen along with parking recommendations.

Ah thanks I see it now. Is there any way to change it from Celsius to Fahrenheit?

Options -> General -> Units -> Unit of Temperature -> choose °C or °F

BT clipping -- is it MN 1.6 or iOS 4.x?

I'm having the same issue now with Navigon 1.6. The first part of any audio commands from Navigon are clipping when played over my bluetooth Motorola T505. Previous versions of Navigon were just fine. Using ios4.01 on a 3GS if that matters. Anyone else noticing this bluetooth clipping? Thanks!

Thanks for that useful comment. Knowing that the problem isn't unique to iPhone 4 + Jawbone ICON points more narrowly to a problem with MN 1.6 but also possibly with iOS 4.x.

Can you clarify with certainty that clipping started only after you upgraded to MN 1.6, and not when you upgraded to iOS 4.0?

If so, that further isolates the problem to Navigon.

I wasn't paying close enough attention at the time and don't remember if I experienced clipping with MN 1.5 + iOS 4.0.

first extended use of 1.6 today

i've had MN since August last year, and used it quite a bit on my 3G, even on a x-country road trip from NYC to LA..served me as well as you'd expect given the hardware constraints of the 3G.

using MN on the iPhone 4 has been a dream. makes the 3G experience (which I didnt mind most of the time) seem like a nightmare in retrospect. Today I used it for an extended trip (> 1 hour), and it was fine..however it did just shut down unexpectedly about 25 minutes into the trip weirdly..i had to relaunch, and pull up the address from recents..after that i had no problems the remainder of the trip or on my return, so i'll chalk it up to just a random crash.

overall very happy with my MN experience. I paid the $59.99 intro price when it was released, and the $19.99 intro price when traffic was released, and for that i've got a handy GPS unit that covers North america and canada. Can't ask for much else.

Hey Navigoners-two quick questions.

If I buy my region and add traffic, will the traffic work with any add-on regions?

And, how does the traffic compare to TomTom? How do they compare to Google Maps traffic?

I thought with my new iphone 4 I could just get by with google maps but honestly without voice directions it can be .. well dangerous lol.

I really like the price tag of this app, especially if I can just get the east region since thats where I only drive basically.

So my question is: Is there any difference between the Full us vs Just the East Region (other then more maps)

Does both come with the panoramic 3d view and live traffic, or do both require you to purchase them separately (it sounds like traffic you are charged separately regardless, wasn't sure if the 3d view was as well.)

The only thing different is the maps.

Nope, sorry. I have the same problem as you in that I wasn't paying attention either and upgraded my firmware and navigon software pretty close to each other. I'll have to experiment with another bluetooth unit to see if that changes anything but I suspect this is a Navigon issue. I certainly don't get the clipping when using it for calls but that may be totally irrelevant. Keep ya posted.

Has anyone else noticed that when you use the Contacts option (i.e. going through your address book) to navigate to an address, and that address has an apartment number in it, MobileNavigator (MN) fails miserably?

Lets say the address is
71 Avery Rd
#12 (or apt 13, or Unit B, whatever)
Atlanta, GA 30309

NavAssist in the AppStore will solve this issue. It strips the apartment numbers off (with some basic rules, what you describe above it will handle), but the next version (soon to be released) will work with almost any format and have google mapkit integration (soon to have local search hopefully). Check out http://liquidzed.blogspot.com. The next version will have google maps integration.
