I got a Navigon (Canada 310) in the US, but am now in South Africa.
Where can I get it upgraded with SA roads?

@Luisa – your maps updates are included with the app updates from Apple. You can’t directly download maps from the Navigon site – wait until there is an update on the iTunes store :)

You suppose to purchase and download the navigon software from the iTunes store the product you purchased is for a GPS not an iPhone.

Since the most recent update of the software, it has improved both dramatically in terms of picking up gps signal and map updates, although it is still missing a few roads.

Something alse which has been updated is estate/complex names, but again this is not complete and needs further improvement.

On the whole though, a worthwhile upgrade.

In Europe (east and west) we use Navigon on our iPhone. We are very pleased with the detailed maps. In August 2010 we make a journey through South Africa and Botswana. Can anyone provide us information about the detailed map views in South Africa and Botswana?

NAVIGON bricked my iPhone 3GS
while using it it lost 3G connection,
error message read that i was not able to make/receive calls and I must restore.
When trying to restore I got error code 23
VODACOM/APPLE are replacing the iPhone.
when doing a google search I found I am not alone, the CPU gets hot and cooks the radio chip, loosing the 3G/Bluetooth/Wireless functions!

@Jason – if I’m not mistaken, this app shouldn’t be using any of your data – all the maps are saved on your iPhone.

I ought this a while back – previously only played around a bit with it. Only used it for real today – was really spot on!! I used a car charger to power the device (this app suck major battery). I haven’t bought a cradle yet – waiting to see how much the Navigon cradle is gonna go for (being released later this month).
I love this app!! Only thing is that my iPhone gets pretty hot when using it (even if not in direct sunlight). Hope this isn’t gonna blow my phone or something ;-)

I bought this and have been using it lightly with my iTrip and iPhone cradle.

I’m just trying to figure out how much data it uses. Ever since I got my iPhone (jailbreak unlocked) I’ve been chowing through data.
