Macnn reported that NAVIGON has submitted new update (version 1.4.0) for MobileNavigator to the App Store and it’s pending approval as of today. Also, it released NAVIGON Traffic Live as In-App purchase with few more features in the last month and now it’s ready for another update with 13 new features with enhanced pedestrian mode for navigation while walking and Google Local Search feature.

The v1.4.0 release will have 13 new features, including an enhanced pedestrian mode for navigation while walking. A new interface will take advantage of the compass in the iPhone 3GS, shifting map position in tandem with a user’s orientation. Google Local Search should meanwhile allow quick access to subject and place searches, with matching directions.

Geographic coordinates will be usable as destinations, and optionally e-mailable to other iPhones. More features should be revealed when Apple approves the update.

For the Thanks Giving week sale, US & Canada version of MobileNavigator is available for $69.99 to compete with its rival Tom Tom on the same ground.

Most probably, this update is only for MobileNavigator North America (version 1.3.0) and MobileNavigator Europe (version 1.3.0) as other region MobileNavigator apps (Brazil, Russia, South Africa, Turkey and Australia) are still in lower version 1.2.0 or 1.2.1
