Dumping Navigon/Garmin - Doesn't Deliver on Promises

Anosognosic Reviewer

Navigon promised us free map updates for life. Garmin, when they purchased Navigon, told us to pound sand. In this release, they offer a one-time free map update. Whoopee-do. I've already switched to Waze, and that was before iOS6's free maps. There's another half-dozen apps out there either free or less than ten bucks. Navigon/Garmin is running scared. They realize now they've done nothing but abuse their user base, and people are leaving them in droves. One free map update? Will that make me come back? No. Give me what I was promised, free map updates for the life of the product. You got my money on that basis. You lied. This company does not keep it's promises. Don't buy this. Go to all the many, many, alternatives.

Finally it does work on iPhone 5.

I reviewed earlier that it didn't work on iPhone 5, but it does. It just takes a loooooong time to extract a map. It said it was done downloading but no map. About 20 minutes later I was in another app and navigon pops up saying extracting map, so you may have to wait a bit but it will work.

Is Garmin TRYING to Kill Navigon?

Navigon always struggled with customer support but now, since Garmin bought them, they don't even try. Good: Works off-line so saves data. Basic function is less buggy than the cheaper offerings. Bad: In-store purchases are cryptic, expensive and flaky on re-downloading after restore. Maps annual subscription is an example of Garmin trying to keep their business model as the world changes around them. Customer service is a shining examples of BAD.

Great App

Love the interface. Accurate map data, I use with confidence. I like Navigon so well after trying all the others that I spent the money for the full North American version. This app has performed well for me through several iOS upgrades, and I'm anxious to use it with the iPhone 5. I believe the poor reviews come from competitors...

Doesn't work at all.

Liked on my last two iPhones but I can't get it to load any maps on my iPhone 5. I keep getting "can't register device" errors. Useless.

UPDATE NEEDED

Was a great app. Now it doesn't work on iPhone 5 running iOS 6. Needs an update please then I'll put it back to a respectable star rating!!!

Let Us Zoom & Fix Routing!!!

RoadkillBC

Every other navigation device out there allows you to change the zoom setting without losing the moving map display. If you zoom in Navigon, the map stops and the vehicle eventually drives off the map. Routing is still screwed up. "Shortest" is never the shortest route. I thought when Garmin bought the company they would fix this. Apparently not. I've sent numerous detailed and respectful emails but no one responds. I've given up....too bad, this app has/had a lot of promise.

Best navigation app ever

This app has it all. Clean interface, very intuitive and easy to use. This is the most accurate GPS app I have ever used and is better then the stand alone GPS in my car. Definitely highly recommended. I love the pedestrian view as well. Although I think some in app features should be free such as the urban guidance, it's not so bad. I did purchase the red light camera detector which is really helpful. Overall great app.

Unacceptable.

Been using this for years, and now in this update it says I need to contact navigon support and won't launch.

latest update a disaster

Lexgen

just downloaded the latest update. it has disabled the app entirely. nothing works. its useless. will have to delete and reinstall. this app is great when it works - but there are always lots of bugs and customer support is a joke. just deleted and installed. no improvement. app is now totally ineffectively. DO NOT INSTALL UPDATE.
