Navigon map update11/13/2022 ![]() ![]() You can find NAVIGON USA here and NAVIGON Europe here at the Windows Phone Marketplace. Unfortunately, there isn't a trial version available for either version. NAVIGON Europe is currently running $99.99 and has downloadable maps for all of Europe. NAVIGON USA is currently running $49.99 and has downloadable maps for all fifty States. There are two versions of NAVIGON available over on the Windows Phone Marketplace. We'll say that FreshMaps is a nice feature but not for everyone. The traffic check will help you navigate around town and the Bing integration makes building routes a lot easier. Overall, the update does bring some nice features to NAVIGON. FreshMaps will cost you $39.99 but will be offered at a reduced price of $24.99 until August 30, 2012. FreshMaps pulls the map updates from NAVTEQ to ensure the most accurate mapping possible. But for those who want to stay more current with their maps, FreshMaps will provide the latest maps every three months over a two year period. NAVIGON will provide users with the latest map available at the time of download.

The Navigon units use a 2GB SD Memory Card to hold it all - which allows for an easy hardware upgrade (pop in a bigger Card) if the data-handling needs ever grow beyond 2GB. The Navigon models, like many competitors, use a customized version of Microsoft's Windows CE as their basic operating system - augmented by a software package which includes the Map information, Points Of Interest, and the manufacturer's particular 'twist' on a User Interface (what you deal with, onscreen, to enter information and use the device). ![]() HERE IS SOME MORE COMPUTER BORING INFORMATION TOO: October 1, 2008: Navigon now gives you FREE lifetime traffic information.
