Ahead of TomTom’s upcoming GPS app for the iPhone, Navigon today announced Live Traffic functionality for their Navigon MobileNavigator app. Meant as the most complete GPS application available for the iPhone, the new update comes just a week after their text-to-speech upgrade for the same app, update that had also added capability to dial up a point of interest from within.
Navigon says that the new “Traffic Live” feature will get precise traffic info from analyzing speed data from more than 1 million drivers across North America including commercial fleets as well as regular drivers with GPS systems. The application also uses information from traffic cameras, speed sensors and traffic messages coming through a radio network, and will offer onscreen alerts about the traffic situation while calculating a route.
MobileNavigator users will pay a one-time fee of $24.99 for lifetime traffic ($20 for the first four weeks), while the rest of the world will first have to get their hands on the Navigon iPhone app for $90, before installing the new upgrade.
The new Traffic Live update for the Navigon MobileNavigator will be available next month, in October.
