Navigon MobileNavigator is a GPS navigation app for the iPhone 3G or 3GS. This application utilizes the GPS positioning system built into the iPhone and is capable of giving users turn-by-turn directions throughout North America. If the iPhone loses 3G connectivity while driving, the app is still able to give directions based on what it knows about your route. MobileNavigator works in both landscape and portrait mode, and will read aloud driving directions as you go. Both 2D and 3D maps can be displayed, along with “Lane Assistant Pro” to show the driver a clear view of the road ahead. This application also gives drivers direct access to contacts already saved in the iPhone’s address book. MobileNavigator does use battery power rather quickly, so it is generally recommended to use an in-car charger as well. Navigon MobileNavigator is a 1.29 GB download, and can be purchased through the iTunes Store.

Pros
- Only current GPS app with Text-to-Speech
- Lane Assist feature ensures you are in the right lane for tricky/confusing highway/freeway exits
- very aesthetically appealing user interface
- Integrated iPod controls allows for easy access to your music library without having to exit the app in order to listen to music
- Can access your iPhone's Contact list for addresses
- iPhone does not need to be connected to a network for the app to be functional, unlike the built in google maps app on the iPhone
Cons
- No overall route view - cannot see a full rundown list of all your turns (ie. like in google maps)
- Destroys battery life, should really only be used with a car charger otherwise you run the risk of completely draining your phone on long trips.
- App does not support online content such as live traffic updates for route planning
