With the arrival of the holidays and taking into account that we are in the midst of a crisis, the companies producing iPhone applications have put out offers over offers in the hope of increasing sales in the most generous month of the year. After iGo and Tom Tom reduced the prices for their applications, removing them from the maps of course, it was the turn of those behind the Navigon application to make discounts, this time a pretty good one, the version of the application for Eastern Europe costs 54.99 in the AppStore € but only until January 11, 2010. But the price reduction also came with a reduction in maps, in August the application now includes maps totaling only 590 MB compared to the previous versions, which were a bit more expensive, but which totaled almost 1.2 GB of maps. Anyway, most of you probably know what Navigon can do, I prefer iGo for Romania, it seems to me the most complete and accurate GPS application for iPhone, which in Romania has the best map representation.
The application has now reached version 1.4, so here is the list of features:
