Thanks Richard, I do understand better now. I'm wondering if the map
source that Navigon uses hasn't updated, which means that Navigon isn't
to blame fully, or perhaps they haven't paid the license fees to get the
updated map data, and then that is their fault. However if they are not
willing to answer a tech support questions, it's hard to know and again,
comes full circle as to why you don't recommend them.

Hi Raul,
Now that you have burst my bubble about Oregon, let me address the real issue
here.
The Portland maps used to be fine. Navigon was my favorite app by far.
A couple updates ago, the maps began telling me that I am in Lake Jeanclia.
Since their support department seems to not give a damn about that, I certainly
can't recommend Navigon here in Oregon.
However, who is to say that after the next update, your maps will suddenly
start giving you false information?
The issue isn't that the maps are fine in some areas but not others, the issue
is that when they screw something up, they don't seem to care about fixing it.
So, I cannot recommend a company with such awful customer service.
When anyone asks about Navigon, I will point this out.
Take care,
Richard

Richard, but what about recommending Navigon for those who live in areas where
the maps do work for them? I mean, Oregon isn't the center of the universe...
Right? Seriously though, I can understand where you come from in that if a
product isn't accurate and the people you are making recommendations to live in
the area, then you are right that it's not a viable solution.

The fact that Navigon thinks that I live in Lake Jeanclia, Oregon, is a problem.
I am in Portland and there is no lake jeanclia in Oregon and I get no reply
from their support people.
So i cannot recommend navigon to anyone.

Right, but mapquest also relies on data connection at all times where as
Navigon does not. That was my only point. Mapquest is very good as well. Good
thing there are always choices. I just don't get what the fuss with people not
liking Navigon is.

I asked the question about Navigon versus IOS 6 Maps a few days ago, and
one difference that Raul pointed out, is that Maps in IOS 6 will need a
data connection while Navigon will use locally stored maps. This will
mean that you'll eat up your data plan if you're out and about using
Maps. For this reason, it may still make sense to purchase Navigon.

Hi Folks,
I'm wondering about purchasing Navigon, but see that its review rating is
only 2 stars; is this a true reflection of the app's value, or do people
find Navigon worth the expenditure?
Secondly, is the navigation app in IOS6 going to be a replacement for
Navigon or similar?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Regards,
Mike
