NAVIGON MobileNavigator app for iPhone

The first turn-by-turn iPhone navigation app for North America featuring on-board maps has been released by NAVIGON. Their MobileNavigator application differs from TeleNav’s AT&T Navigator in two very important ways:

• By having maps on-board, you still have navigation when you leave AT&T’s coverage area
• Mobile Navigator is available for a flat fee ($69.99 until August 15, $99.99 after that) whereas AT&T’s sticks you with a monthly fee of $9.99

Being in an area where AT&T’s notoriously weak coverage is even more tenuous, I haven’t had a chance to try it, but I do have links to early reviews:

• GPS Review’s detailed NAVIGON MobileNavigator review
• Engadget’s review of NAVIGON MobileNavigator
• A user review of the Navigon iPhone app
• TUAW does a hands-on Mobile Navigator review
• iLounge has also posted a Navigon Mobile Navigator review
• CNet road tests Navigon MobileNavigator
• MobilityMinded gets into the game with their own Navigon iPhone navigation app review
• Obsessable reviews Navigon MobileNavigator
• A comparison of the Navigon app and an older PND
