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.

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.
