Hello Chris, Sarah, Eileen, and Others, I'm also not updated to the latest version of Navigon or to iOS 7 on my iPhone, which is running 6.1.4. I usually try to post popular VoiceOver compatible apps that go on sale under the App Deals section of AppleVis.com. I noticed that all the Navigon apps took large price drops just 1 week after a new version, 2.6, was released on September 19. That sale price has remained in effect from September 26 to October 15. However, I also noticed that all the reviews for Navigon took an immediate dive, with many 1-star reviews stating that the last upgrade was terrible, that they can no longer establish connections with the server, and that (for the latest version 2.6.1 released on September 30) there are difficulties saving destinations as favorites.
Chris, a check just now of some of the most recent reviews by version 2.6.1 users shows a few people complaining about the new map downloads. I haven't run the map update, and North Carolina shows up as 49.7 MB download for me in the Map Manager. Because of all the negative reviews, I refrained from posting an App Deal announcement, and I also haven't been updating this app. Navigon is also working just fine for me, especially in combination with BlindSquare. If anyone has an iTunes backup of an earlier version of Navigon, perhaps trying Eileen's suggestion of rolling back to that previous version might work. HTH.
