European GPS company Navigon has announced the availability of a South African version of its on-board navigation software that is now available in the iPhone App Store.

According to Navigon, the MobileNavigator software transforms the iPhone into a complete navigation device with turn-by-turn voice directions and features such as adjustable audio-visual speed warnings, branded point of interest icons along the route, direct navigation to contacts saved in the address book and full integration of iPod controls.

MobileNavigator works on the iPhone 3G and 3GS models and requires version 3.0 or later of the iPhone operating system.

The software is priced at $99.99 (about R750), but is being launched at a promotional price of $74.99 until October 15.

Below is a video of the software in action:

    I bought myself a copy but I really hate that the maps are so old. I wonder how frequent and costly those updates are going to be,though…

    How well does it work though?? Say compared to the Garmin?

    I heard it was really innacurate, as in it doesn't know quite where you are on the road (more or a guestimation).

    What's your opinion?

    I've tested Ndrive and Navigon on my iPhone 3GS
    Ndrive has speed camera's on it, which I need :)

    But Navigon wins because of ipod integration… I should just obey the speed limits…
