NAVIGON AG, Germany based manufacturer of GPS devices and GPS navigation software, released today an update for it’s native GPS iPhone app MobileNavigator North America. By this update, the well-acclaimed leading GPS app gets Live Traffic in US and Canada feature for $19.99 in In-App purchase. Also, this includes two more features:  Extended map area search after destination input, launching the app in landscape mode.

Though NAVIGON AG ceased it’s North American sales of it’s consumer GPS navigation devices, it’s the first company to launch full featured mobile navigation native app for iPhone after Apple allowed developers access to GPS information from the iPhone. From the day it’s launched in App Store, it’s been the leading app in it’s kind with more and more positive reviews and accolades from the consumer. Frequent updates with new and much needed features make this app a must-have one.

MobileNavigator North America is already packed with rich features like, Real View Pro, Lane Assistant Pro, Text-to-Speech voice guidance and in-built iPod controls. With Live Traffic addition, it becomes the one and only app that has this feature in App Store, even the much-advertised Tom Tom doesn’t have it.

Personally, as a MobileNavigator user myself, I would like to see route summary with list of streets, freeways in the next update.
