RE: Navigon usage and battery life.

2013-03-31 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Jay,

 

Yes, Navigon's voice guidance works if the screen is locked or if the app is
in the background. Many of us use Navigon to setup a route, then open
another app like Sendero LookAround, Ariadne or BlindSquare to get better
announcvements about upcoming cross streets etc.

 

When GPS apps are running, battery does get used up a lot, so what you
describe including the fact the iPhone got a little warm all sounds pretty
normal. Locking the screen will definitely help some.

Sieghard

Subject: Navigon usage and battery life.

 

Hi. Well, the trip that I took by car yesterday went well testing my Navigon
app and it was very helpful hearing about different streets as my dad took a
different rout than the app wanted him to take and it had to recalibrate. I
used it with a set of Aftershocks headphones plugged in and am wondering
about the battery usage yesterday. I left home fully charged and after the
trip, 45 minutes later, it had used up 30 percent of my battery. I am
wondering if this was accessive or not and am also wondering if the app
would have continued to work and give me turn by turn navigation with the
lock screen active. During that whole trip, the phone was unlocked. Has
anyone tried Navigon with the screen locked and does it still work? Is there
any way to save a little battery life on the phone as I found that the rapid
discharge actually caused my phone to heat up.

 

Jay

Hi Sieghard and thanks for this. I am taking a Trip to Toronto on Wednesday
and will probably have Navigon running for about an hour and half so will
give it a try with the screen locked then. Thanks for the assistance and
answers.
