This is an interesting discussion. I will see what happens on my 4S when I
actively follow a route. Meanwhile, when playing with this yesterday, my
initial impression was that I could easily get to all the settings and plan
routes. I even had access to GPS data which was invisible previously. The
two negatives were that marking one's position as a POI was possible
exclusively when a route is active, and the only way I found to quit a route
is to close the app (either via long presses of the power and home keys or
the app switcher) and restart.
I found the turn by turn list once, but was unable to do so a second time.
Right now I'm inclined to write that off to a learning curve issue related
to adjustment to the new interface since I was able to get to it once. When
I venture out later I will have Navigon follow the route to see if the
response time and crashes might be related to a failure to test on older
hardware.
I tend to believe that Navigon may be receptive to feedback, since they did
restore voice announcements to pedestrian mode last year.
Best regards.

The impression I get Bryan is that they don't care. In my dealings with
them, I have never found them responsive in the lease. Out of curiosity,
what (if any) alternative app are you using?

I tried the update for a couple of hours yesterday and had the same
problems here with the Navigon North America version. My negative findings
mirror those of DOnal and Anne. There are several critical elements in the
UI that VO is denied access to, the whole system became very sluggish at
times repeatedly becoming non-responsive with an "in progress" message,
and getting out of navigation mode is messy.
On the positive side, the new method of selecting individual states and
provinces is accessible and it seems they've simplified the UI to
eliminate some of the confusing steps previously required to get to
certain bits of information.
I haven't been a heavy Navigon User for several months, so this update
doesn't effect me much but knowing that the app is very popular with the
VI VO community, I can imagine Navigon will be hearing from many of us.

Some people seem to like the new Navigon, but I find it to be a complete
disaster! I can get it to start navigation, but stopping navigation is
almost impossible for a VO user. Also, it crashes when trying to do
anything after starting navigation.
