The 7 digit post code went live via an in App purchase earlier today.
It costs £1.19 - the 1.3 maps must include the actual data - because there is no furter downloading, the purchase just unlocks it.
Any news of when traffic will appear in the UK? On Navigon's twitter page the UK isn't even mentioned :( |

| Navigon is at v1.2 in the US. They say that traffic is coming, but they have never said when it will arrive or on which version number. |
Don't forget the GPSPassion Club! |

| Good to hear, I'll just go ahead and rename the thread and put a note in the first message. Curious to find out what the traffic looks like in the US, in Europe it's pretty poor so far with tons of "fake" incidents, such as being alerted to traffic problems at toll gates when it's merely people slowing down to pay the toll...FCD (Floating Car Data) is not all "magic" ;-) I'm also being alerted to events not on my route but in a general radius it seems, e.g. on a 10 km trip tonight there were supposedly 34 incidents on my route : |

Traffic Live employs crowd-sourced real-time speed data from over 1.3 million drivers including other Navigon app users, commercial fleets such as trucks and taxis, and regular drivers with a GPS system. The feature also utilizes an intelligent fusion of information from traffic cameras, road sensors and conventional traffic messages coming from ClearChannel’s Total Traffic Network.
Navigon Traffic Live is offered as an In App Purchase for $24.99. The app can be purchased for an introductory price of $19.99, till next four weeks

Yes, it's impressive on paper, but have you tried it ? So far in Europe it's unimpressive for the reasons I highlighted above. Is it also by Inrix in the US ?
Tonight I did a direct comparison to TomTom's much critisized HD Traffic feed (FMD) on the 950 and I was surprised to see the 950 do better, as it correctly showed the full traffic jam, while the Navigon thought for some reason it had cleared up. I'm disappointed because I would have thought that FCD was more accurate than FMD. |

| Yes, it's at least partly based on Inrix traffic data for the US. The giveaway was the reference to 1.3 million traffic probes. |

| A heads up that Navigon should have a sale going on for their iPhone app from Nov. 20th thru the 30th. Save $20 on the app or $5 on traffic. |

Navigon showed on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/navigon) pictures of already submitted to Apple for approval 1.4.0 version. As far as I can tell additions are:
- Enhanced pedestrian mode
- Built-in Google POI search
- Ability to enter location by coordinates
Internal Google search is nice (personally don't care much about other 2 features) but I would've much preferred to finally have such basic things like rout preview as a turn-by-turn list and ability to block certain parts of rout. |

Yes it's interesting how the GPS software editors are now communicating when they submit an app, not sure whether Apple appreciates the extra pressure to get it approved quickly ;-)
The Google search is an excellent idea indeed, at last we are seeing some more "connectivity" on the iPhone GPS apps. |

| Not sure about the US, but v1.4 is available un Europe and the new Google Local feature is a pleasure to use, very fast searching (at least in 3G) and relevant results. It makes up nicely for Navigon's "challenged" POI searching. |
