About NAVIGON USA

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 connection1 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: The 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

- NAVIGON FreshMaps XL(2): For a one-off payment, you get the maps of the USA, Canada as well as Mexico and 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 1.6GB 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

I have been a huge fan of this app for years and that why I make sure that it is on every phone I own. The latest update which I received on my Galaxy Note 5 last month gave the app a fresh new look. I just upgraded to the LG v20 this week and tried to install my Navigon on it and now it doesn't work anymore. It won't download the system files and my paid app is useless. I am in the process of trying to get my issue resolved through the developer but I am not too optimistic.

Very difficult setting a destination using this app using voice commands and manual, cannot find destination. Coming back from the wellness center 8 mi from my home it was routing me way out of the way. I think the app has good features but if you can't use them to your benefit why bother. I will go back to old reliable...

Navigon is working well on my Note 4 and Samsung Galaxy S2 tablet BUT the voice keeps telling me "CAUTION" WHEN THERE IS NO NEED FOR CAUTION! I've looked through the settings and can't find where I can turn them off. This is very annoying!!! HELP PLEASE!

It cannot connect to register and then crashes with an error message: an error occurred. GARMIN....FYI THERE IS NO WAY TO RESPOND AND SEND THINGS TO SUPPORT IF THE APP WON'T EVEN START. I have been using this app for many years. I hate to not have it now. Because the app will not start there is no welcome email except one that is very old.

I have been using the iPhone app for years and love it. I recently bought an 8" Android tablet and couldn't wait to use navagon on an 8" screen. I was disappointed to find that many of the features I often used with the iPhone app were missing from the Android app. And most of all there was no in app control for the volume. With the volume turned all the way up on the tablet navagon can barely be heard. Come on navagon what's up? Fix this lackluster Android app. Especially the volume problem. This Android app just isn't on par with the iPhone app. Why not??????????

Navigon used to be a good app. not sure what happened. Now with my Samsung Galaxy S 2 no sound is output through the headphone jack. This makes the app useless in my car as I plug this in to the aux in jack of my stereo. I wish I could get my money back. Update won't run at all on galaxy s7

Use to be the best nav app hands down. I have purchased for Android and iOS. Latest update is stuck on map manager keeps wanting to re-download maps. I emailed tech support no help "they only support mobile devices" I have an Android radio. That's funny the previous Navigon versions and every other nav app on the Playstore works just fine. Other reviews on here have same issue.

Re-installed it recently. Still won't stick with your route selection, still inflexible and opaque enroute, and still 'glitchy' as to position in a city. Uninstalled it. *sigh*, back to g-maps. At least it's easier to fight with.

Used to work on my HTC one and then on my Lg G4 but I upgraded to the Lg G5 and now it doesn't work. It's supposed to work without any network connection but every time I open it I get a message saying it needs to connect to a WiFi network so it can download files. There's no way to cancel and continue with the current information. This is a pain in the ass when out on the highway and you are not getting any cell signal or a weak signal but either way no WiFi is available.

Confusing. Downloaded it on my new phone and there is info that my period of use expired.Finally I see this is different app. Change at least the Icon for Christ sake. Finally i see that there is identical app I paid for and I have to download all states again. The most disappointing are ultra small fonts plus the mini ICON's - POS nobody can see and recognize their meaning What about speed cameras and school zones.??? My daily app now is WAZE. Navigon was trying to mimic Vaze ability to quickly enlarge view but it is not working so effortlessly like Waze . I used to use Navigon quite often but now only for looong trips. The location of icons is awkward.The warning you can set up at 5,10,20 over the speed limit are clearly mistake. Have you ever had a ticket Navigon for driving 5, 10 or 20 over the Limit? Here in some states you go directly to jail for exceeding the speed so much.

I used to love this app. Now it is constantly telling me to "Watch my speed." All speed notification are off, red light camera notifications are off. I get this speech 2 to three times a stop light. I have had to mute all directions, and am forced to look down at phone for this app to be useful.

Paid for lifetime updates when I purchased this app. Now it says I have to repay every 2 years. How can you change this when I paid for lifetime fresh maps?

Have found this to be a solid navigation app, and I prefer it over Google Maps for several reasons, including the route quality and lane assist. However, I have switched to using Google since getting a new car that supports Android Auto. Would love to see this become Android Auto compatible, would be a logical target for development and a key reason for purchasing the app (for new customers) or add-ons. For example, I'm holding off on a Fresh Maps purchase until I can use Android Auto.

Garmin charges a lot since they took over. When I bought this app years ago, before Garmin owned it, I was guaranteed free map updates. Garmin should honor the original purchaser's right for free map updates. It's also not reliable enough to use while motorcycling. I prefer Google maps seamless integration with Android devices and Waze's ability to avoid city traffic. I still keep Navigon installed in case I have no data connection. (Update: Waze is now owned by Google!)

In the crowded and commoditized world of navigation I trust one app... Navigon is my killer app. I've been using it's advanced interface and accurate maps since iPhone 3. I flirted with Waze and Google maps, but this is the one. Keep up the good work and keep innovating!

Since last 2 updates, on my Galaxy S4 GPS keeps getting lost every minute or so, speed on Navigon states I'm going 12 miles faster than my actual speedometer speed! Totally unreliable. Doesn't happen on Google maps or other free programs! Navigon used to be my favorite and only use, now I'm forced to delete the app. Other people submit inqueries, why doesn't Support post also answers instead of just replying contact support. Don't know if problems are being solved or not!!!!!

I really wanted to like this app but it has multiple limitations and bugs. Unlike competition, it does not have a trial period. Panorama 3D is junk. 1. I wish this app would closely resemble a real Garmin GPS, like Garmin USA in iTunes. 2.Unlike Garmin, Navigon does not have a detour button. 3.In "My Destinations" my contacts appear twice! Why? 4.Here Maps allows one to categorize and sort favorites: You can group them into cat. such as "museums", "parks", etc. On Win Phone I used Here Maps to manage favorites and then Here was using Garmin to navigate. This does not work on Android & minimal information can be stored about a favorite (no phone #, web) 5.Cannot sort favorites by distance and "My destinations" always opens at "Recent" tab. 6. App description say "...thanks to the first-class, simplified address entry, ... you can find your destination even more quickly." Navigon does not say that for this to work you need WiFi (In Here Maps this works offline). 7.Sound is directed through "touch feedback" which I keep off. 8. No way to import/backup favorites. 9. It does not show 3D buildings like Here. 10. Red light alert is the same as speed cam: "watch your speed" (unlike Win).

When I bought a Sony Xperia years ago, I bought the Navigon app that was preinstalled. Maps were not as clear and polished as on my Nuvi, but it had some neat features. However now that I've switched to a Nexus 6p, this "Xperia edition" of Navigon no longer works. I decided to buy the compatible version in hopes of at least recovering my in app purchases, but there's no way to link Garmin accounts. I've lost over $70, and just found out I can't even add the maps of Canada I need.
