Navigon wishlist - please contribute

Very simple, a want to compile a list of wants with many people behind it so navigon might do something.

Why navigon, and not route66, garmin, copilot or navicore?

Well, out of them all (which I have tried), navigon has by far the best routing and instructions. Also it seems to have the most up to date postcodes.

I feel that once you have the good routing and instructions, adding things is a lot easier.

The wishlist for navigon goes thus, and I will update this post if anyone adds anything:

  • Custom POI addition, along with adjustable proximity warnings
  • The ability to add a point on the map under a cursor, so you can scroll to somewhere and add the point as a favourite.
  • Ability to see/plan the route.
  • Ability to 'block' a certain length of road (handy for traffic works etc).
  • Traffic alerts.
  • Maps for other countries.

I would quite happily pay more for these implimentations.

Oh yes, and has anyone ever seen the 'lane assistant' on symbian version? Its advertised on the site, but it doesnt seem to exist.

How about recognising that the entire world does not consist only of Europe and Nth America? Thats a good start... 😊

Navigon is nice product - too bad I live in the other hemisphere where they do not have maps for!

Yeah Im confused by that too, why they didnt buy other maps I dont know.
