Navigon’s product looks nicer in transit and offers sharp lane assistance graphics; it just lacks TomTom’s IQ Routes and smoother POI search. TomTom replaces Navigon MobileNavigator as our EC for iPhone nav software, but that’s not a knock on the excellent MobileNavigator. Voice prompts were always just right for the occasion, with a clear tone and properly pronounced street and exit names. Route recalculations were fast as well, and since the app stores maps locally, it doesn’t depend on cellular coverage during navigation. The app displayed 3D lane assistance to help with complex interchanges, and it popped up the correct speed limit for almost all highways and secondary roads I drove on.

On the plus side, fonts were smooth and sharp in both portrait and landscape mode. Map graphics were smoothly animated, but looked Spartan, with jagged road lines; almost all competing apps have nicer looking map modes. The bottom bar displays the remaining trip distance, current speed, speed limit, distance to the next turn, time remaining, and estimated time of arrival. The display during navigation is very informative.

That’s even truer with the latest version; the interface almost disappears, letting you focus on finding destinations.

But that app is oddly uninformative during navigation, relies too heavily on cellular signal, and its subscription-based pricing is expensive. AT&T Navigator 1.5i also offers well-organized POI searches and accurate routing.
