About NAVIGON North America

Whether on holiday, taking a weekend trip or heading off somewhere as yet unfamiliar – with NAVIGON, you can be sure of getting there quickly and safely! Transform your Smartphone into a full-performance mobile navigation system that includes onboard maps so that you can always find your way – even when no internet connection(1) is available.

Important: Following installation, the app needs further data (maps, etc.) which have to be loaded via WiFi (WLAN).

*** Scope of function ***
- Onboard map material: only save the road maps on your Smartphone that you really need. That way, you save on memory space and can navigate even when no internet connection is available.

- Intelligent address entry, including voice entry(1): thanks to the first-class, simplified address entry, which can be operated using the keypad or via voice input, you can find your destination even more quickly.

- Precise voice commands, including street names: so that you can concentrate on driving the car.

- The latest traffic reports(1, 2): avoid annoying jams automatically.

- Hazard warnings(1, 2): you can choose to receive alerts of danger spots such as mobile speed traps.

- POI search: find your destination even without entering the address directly – locally, Community-based or using Augmented Reality.

- Real signage and road sign displays: you always have an overview thanks to photo-realistic views of junctions and road signs.

- Dynamic lane assistant: at junctions where the exit is unclear or on motorway exits, be guided into the right lane every time.

- Speed assistant: NAVIGON warns you visually or audibly if you are exceeding the permitted speed limit.

- Optimal route: choose the right option for you, from up to three suggested routes.

- Route planning: plan longer trips with several destinations en route.

- Expanded pedestrian navigation: navigate to your destination on foot too – or use Urban Guidance1,2 if you also want to include public transport.

- Many other in-app purchases possible: NAVIGON cockpit, 3D maps showing mountains and valleys, and much more.

*** Maps ***
- Latest Map Guarantee for the latest HERE maps(3) (formerly Navteq), with the following coverage: USA, CAN and MEX

- NAVIGON FreshMaps(2): For a one-off payment, you get the latest map updates from experts up to four times a year, for two years! It means that your app is always up-to-date, containing the latest changes to the road network and any amount of new points of interest.

*** Please note the following ***
The correct positioning of your Smartphone in the vehicle is important for optimum GPS reception. For that reason, we recommend the Garmin Smartphone Universal Mount with additional USB connection so that you can also charge your Smartphone during your trip. Continuous use of GPS can shorten battery life. Available in specialist stores or directly from the Garmin Shop at www.garmin.com.
Please also note our FAQ area at www.navigon.com.
This version of NAVIGON can require up to 2.8GB of free memory (depending on the number of maps you download). Due to the high data volume, we recommend using WiFi (WLAN). On first startup a short data connection (ca. 25kB) is mandatory to register your product

NAVIGON wishes you a lot of fun from your navigation – whether in the car, on a bike or on foot!

(1)To be able to provide you with the latest reports at all times, some functions require an internet connection (e.g. traffic reports or speed camera alerts). However, the navigation system itself, including address search, speed display, driving lane assistant and much more, does not require the internet.
(2)Available as an additional in-app purchase.
(3)You get the maps most up-to-date at the time you purchase the app

Maps for Canada are horribly outdated. And that after I went through shop and it downloaded fresh maps. Restarted app, went to shop again and it shows checkmark beside fresh maps. My guess that is latest and greatest but I know my cities around me and they are still in state of 2012. Now is Dec 2016. Are you kidding?

I paid full freight for this app because it is outstanding for iOS. However, it hasn't worked out well on Android. I purchased a new dual sim phone and find the app works when first installed. But if you go into airplane mode, then out or if you reboot, the app will say an error has occurred. Called support and was advised to update from lollipop 5.1. Wrong answer. Hope they can get it to work on a Chinese dual sim phone eventually. Update: Uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Discovered that after I reinstall and download a map over wireless, the app can be exit and restarted normally as long as wireless remains on. If wireless is turned off and then back on, the app will bomb. Hope this symptom report is helpful. Using Snopow M9-LTE.

Please bring us back the ability to copy and paste at the search bar. I can't copy and paste business addresses. Now u can't grab contact addresses from the phone. There are a lot of bugs on that process. The new design it is not friendly at all.

The latest update keeps a Navigon notification after I exit the app. There's no reason it should stay in my notifications after I close it. This is very annoying. -2 stars (Galaxy s5 v6.0.1) Update: After a few reboots, uninstalls/re-installs, it now has an "Exit" button in the notification. +1 BUT it still shouldn't ask me to exit in the notification bar after i already chose "exit" in the application

Very useful offline GPS navigation system, essential when travelling places without cell service, such as rugged mountainous regions, national parks, rural areas, foreign countries, or open waters.

Saw this ad in a SKYMALL magazine on a flight to NY. I purchased while in NY and have used it with the HUD. This is the BEST GPS that I have used short of the GARMIN 496. Yes I own a 496.

Had an issue with the application,, but Navigon support came to the rescue and it is up and running. Required complete flush and re-install to recover.... now to get the maps again. Search list is now quick and detailed.

It would be nicer if the radar could detect cops that are hiding and waiting to give you speeding tickets but overall I have this app for over 2 years and its great

I've used this app for quite a while already, lately it just drains my battery (S7 edge) every time I use it, even if I have the screen off and device plugged in. Was on a 3h drive a few days ago, left with 50% battery and plugged my device in, after about 2.5h I had to close the app and let my battery charge for a while so my phone wouldn't die.

I used to love this app on iPhone. Used it for my job as a Navy Recruiter for 3 years. Even purchased things like the panoramic and traffic along with one or two other things but can't remember. Then I switched to Android. Lots of my apps transferred info and purchases over platforms. Not Navigon. Purchases do not transfer. Not only did I buy the app itself on iPhone, I repurchased it on Android. Thinking if I logged in with my Navigon account I could transfer the in app purchases. Nope. Wouldn't recommend.

This used to be a good product, had it on Iphone for years. Bought all the options for North America and Europe, Fresh maps and all. Now, moved onto Android, seems I have to buy everything again. Fresh Maps is only available for 2 years so I wanted out. I would like a refund and move on but passed the 2 hour Google allowance and now I am stuck. Went to the website which is a mess, went to US site, selected Android and it switched to German. Can't find any prices for the in app purchases and again, the website is useless. I will stay away from this and not advise anybody to purchase this anymore!

I'm comparing this to the iPhone Garmin North America app. I'd love a Garmin North America app for Android, but apparently, this is all there is. Compared to the old Garmin app, this is inferior in almost every way. Where the Garmin app would automatically reconnect to my Garmin HUD whenever it was started, this one requires you to manually go into settings and set up the connection each time. Whereas I could count on the Garmin app to make suggestions to me based on past usage, like going to work in the morning when I'm leaving home, or vice versa, this learns nothing. Where the Garmin app would "learn" that I don't like using that specific interchange and adapt accordingly, this one stubbornly keeps sending me to the less preferred route. What else? The map display is markedly inferior to that of the Garmin app and the off-ramp/lane guidance looks crappier as well. The one thing it does better is that if I want to send someone a Glympse of my trip, it doesn't crash like the Garmin for iPhone app does. I'd use the Garmin HUD app, but paradoxically, it refuses to see my Garmin HUD, so I'm stuck with this POS, and I'm not at all happy with it.

Because the s5 no longer had usb data storage and uses mtp, you can't use fresh to install or update on the phone. Can't use a $50 purchase because app is not updated to newer but outdated phones

Have u guys even tested the option 'voice output via hpf' ? I essentially brought Navigon because of that feature, however when I have hpf option ON in my car while driving and I get a phone call, the phone call (on the cars bluetooth) suddenly goes silent when navigon has any instructions and stays silent after that till I end the call, this feature should be fixed asap please, otherwise the other features are good, hence giving it 3/5 stars and hoping that this will be fixed ASAP.

B70%
by B####:

Navigon is the most beautiful one, but it craves and needs major improvements ASAP! I tried to substitute many other navigation apps, but they are not close to navigon. On the other hand other navigation have sharp route guidance, while Navigon somehow turns in wrong way, or shows wrong direction, example instead show left, it offers go longer route. I am waiting for big improvement from Navigon team and only hope it will be done soon.

I been using Navigon North America with Nokia Luminary 1520, it was working perfect. I went back to Samsung Galaxy Note5, now this Navigon does not transfer address from Contact address. I also had this same program with IPhone and HTC android phone. It was working ok. Now with Samsung Galaxy Note5, it does not work properly. You need to update this program.

I purchased this app back in 2012 and this app just gets better and better. Replaced my garmin that was stolen from my car with this app and no complaints. Speeds traps, red light cameras. Speed alerts. I also have tomtom for iPhone but nothing tops navigon. Also purchased the panorama 3d view addon and I'm loving it.

Arrival time does not always show since upgrade to Lollipop. Would like to have option of seeing basic information (current speed, speed limit distance to destination, arrival time) on a separate screen. Would like to see greater advance notice of the next lane or directional change. Adding a point of interest while on route requires too many steps while driving

B70%
by B####:

Sometimes the quickest route is not the quickest route (but that goes for other navigation tools as well). Just don't know why that is. Other than that, the no Internet needed feature is awesome. New version considers Bluetooth connection as an incoming call... weird!

C70%
by C####:

I find the connection to the car Bluetooth cumbersome. Once paired all the other apps output audio to the car seamlessly but not this App. For some reason the only way to get it to work is to use a setting where the car believes the route guidance is an incoming call. Bizzare.

C70%
by C####:

Would be great as an offline satnav if it would list the directions it gives you rather than having to actually drive the route to have them spoken to you (all other navigation apps do this). There's no way to see which directions are coming up next. If I've missed the feature somewhere, I'd appreciate hearing how to access it.

P70%
by P####:

Needs to make the text size/icons bigger. Can hardly see the street names or which side of the street the destination is on. POI list needs to be updated. Contacts integration poorly implemented. Gets you onto the street but not the exact address. Still no turn by turn list. Glympse and Foursquare integration is cool as is the voice search.

It worked splendidly and I recommend it for long distance travellers. However, under Lollipop 5 and higher it won't with on my Nexus 9, which is really disappointing.

I bought this a couple of years ago and have had nothing but problems with it. Completely stopped working awhile ago until I downloaded an updated version. Worked for a while but still no voice assist. Just upgraded to Samsung S5 installed Navigon but I can't use it because it tells me I have to download files but can't because I have no memory card- yes I do. All my other apps work fine on the upgrade. This app has been a waste of money and time. Do yourself a favor and don't buy it.
