NAVIGON USA App Reviews

Short review: Beaten by Google Maps (which is free) in most areas. Long review: Very disappointing features and functionality for an expensive app. Even with the paid, extra traffic live add on, it will happily route you into a huge traffic jam. The time in transit quoted is always the same regardless of the time of day or the current traffic conditions, whether traffic is dead stopped or flowing 75 MPH. I am convinced the traffic live add on has no bearing on the route suggested. Estimated travel time is way understated in urban environments. Its like it assumes every light will always be green. Sometimes it acts like it knows where your destination address is and starts providing turn by turn, but when you get there, it doesnt really know, and is actually routing you to a city or zip code center. Compare with google maps which will monitor for changing traffic conditions during trip and offer to recalculate and reroute you if faster route is now available. Free. Lots of other annoying problems but these are the main ones.

I was really enjoying this app until they screwed up the turn by turn directions. Id like to have the option of taking different routes and the only way I know what route I want is to look at the turn by turn directions. If this doesnt get fixed soon Im going to have to look for something else. Please work on this!

I use the navigator without Bluetooth and I noticed that if the sound setting isnt changed to "Default" I wont get the voice announcements. At first I had it set to "Default" but for some reason after the update the sound was switched back to "Bluetooth".
