Yes, Tom, you purchased the correct version. There are several travel modes including car, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, and pedestrian with voice announcements. You can only access this feature, called speed profile, after you have entered a destination and started navigation to it.
To change speed profile, select Options, Route Profile, Speed profile, and then choose your desired travel mode.It took me a few hours playing with Navigon to get down the basics of setting up routes and getting information when en route. Be patient and keep practicing.
I noticed there is a user guide on the Navigon website at: http://www.navigon.com/portal/int/kundenservice/faq.html?faqTopic=iphone but I haven't downloaded it and studied it yet. HTH, Jeff At 07:37 PM 4/19/2011, you wrote:
Hi, I bought Navigon today and am anxious to take it for a spin. Two questions:1. I bought the version for North America, I think it was labeled Navigon North America A.G. It cost $44 if memory serves. Is this the version that you're talking about? 2. Is Navigon particularly suited for vehicle travel only or is there also a pedestrian mode?Just curious. I hope I didn't buy the wrong one.

Double-tap it.Now, swipe left to Direct help and double-tap. You'll have a list of a bunch of different categories, one of which is current location. Double-tap it.Now, you can tap anywhere on the screen to hear your location. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Samco" <jsamco@xxxxxxx> To: <gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <aiphone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2011 12:15 AMSubject: [gps-talkusers] A few positive observations on the latest Navigon app for the iPhoneI got my first iPhone last month and purchased Navigon for the first time last weekend. So, my only exsperience is with this latest version of the app, although I did read quite a few user reviews. So mainly with 2 days of experience with car travel I think there are some new features that are quite positive for using Navigon with VoiceOver.1. It recalculates routes very quickly.2. After starting navigation of a route, under Options there is an item for "Turn by Turn List." This allows one to preview the roote. The last step indicates whether the destination address is on the left or right side of the street. When physically approaching the destination the last announcement also gives the left or right info. 3. While navigating a route, there are 3 items in the bottom line on the screen. From left to right they are:Distance to the next navigation step; The name of the street involved in the next navigation step; and, iPod icon.Of course, one can use VoiceOver to listen to the distance to the next navigation step. However, if the distance item is selected, a double tap will invoke the Navigon voice to announce the distance to the next navigation step. Even more cool, if one does a split tap on the name of the street involved in the next navigation step, it appears to toggle between that street name and the street name one is currently travelling on. 4. While navigating a route, in Options there is an item for "POI on Route." I haven't played much with the different categories which can be displayed but it definitely gives things like nearby restaurants, gas stations, etc. I think there is then an option to add a POI in to the route as an interim destination.I only wish there were a feature to get current location upon demand while in route and approaching intersections. If it could use simple gestures like shaking the iPhone or a left or right tilt then Navigon would be a great GPS tool. For now it's very good. Does anyone else have tips for getting more out of this new version of the app.?HTH, Jeff To change your email settings (unsubscribe, digest only, or vacation mode): http://senderogroup.com/social_media/email.htmAdditionally, to unsubscribe send an email to gps-talkusers-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe" in the Subject.To change your email settings (unsubscribe, digest only, or vacation mode): http://senderogroup.com/social_media/email.htmAdditionally, to unsubscribe send an email to gps-talkusers-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe" in the Subject.To change your email settings (unsubscribe, digest only, or vacation mode): http://senderogroup.com/social_media/email.htmAdditionally, to unsubscribe send an email to gps-talkusers-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe" in the Subject.----- No virus found in this message.
