Navigon launched a new update for their navigation software application. MobileNavigator goes to version 1.3.0 and is meant for the Benelux and the DACH-countries. The most important update is not something you can immediately use. It is an In-App Purchase option. When you buy it, you can get live traffic information.

The Live Traffic function will cost €19,99 but will go up to €24,95. You’ll see a blue board in the upper right corner that show the length of the file. If you want more information you will see a vertical line that shows the planned trajectory, how many time you lose, and it shows if something is going on on the road. It is also possible to see a overview of all the roadwork and accidents. The software can also calculate an alternative route.

The European version of Navigon MobileNavigator has been submitted on October 15th but has not been available since. The European version has another payed function which gives you the option to navigate by British ZIP codes and will cost $1,99.
