Navigon is using the Macworld Expo as a stage to announce their upcoming update to MobileNavigator. MobileNavigator won us over with it’s host of relevant features and early entry into the App Store. Since it’s initial release, the turn-by-turn GPS app has received significant updates pretty regularly. Our initial review covered the basic features and was followed up by our review of Navigon’s Traffic Live feature.
Now MobileNavigator will gain three new features in version 1.5, coming this spring.
Version 1.5.0 Feature Highlights:
Connection to Facebook and Twitter: A simple icon tap posts users current position, destination, and ETA without navigation interruption.
Panorama View 3D: True 3D in-map views obtained from NASA’s height and terrain data enable intuitive orientation of surrounding environment, and what lies ahead with digital landscape elevations, shadows, and geographic images. Panorama View 3D is integrated in-map, independent from the phone’s data connection. The Panorama View 3D feature will be available via an In App Purchase.
NAVIGON MyRoutes: Analyzes driving habits, patterns, location, time/day and provides up to three routes clearly displayed in-map with ETA, distance and driving times for each.

Special Macworld promotion: MobileNavigator for $69.99 and one time in-app purchase Traffic Live for $19.99 (regularly $24.99) from February 5-15.
