Yes, that can help. The issue I think is, when switching screens, this app does not open a new window, it just updates the contents of the existing screen, tapping in the middle of the screen causes voiceover to refresh its data I think. On Feb 21, 2012, at 6:01 AM, Les Kriegler wrote: > I woul

I would recommend Mike Arrigo's podcast on this app. I was having difficulty in activating menu selections and his suggestion on tapping the middle of the screen before activating options was very useful. Thanks Mike. I think I can use this app now. Les On Feb 21, 2012, at 6:04 AM, Jennifer

Agreed. But with the 4S and the ability to dictate in the addresses needed and then to be able to launch Navigon from the same screen makes the process more than manageable. On Feb 20, 2012, at 7:10 PM, Mike Arrigo wrote: > It should not take a separate app to do this though, this is something

There is a screen that will tell you the address you are closest to, but it will not announce up coming streets or places you pass, for that, the best app is sendero look around I think. Motion will give you driving or walking instructions very similar to what navigon offers, I think motion's in

It's much easier to enter addresses on the motion app, just type it, no need to use 2 or 3 different screens to do this, also I think motion is a bit faster. On Feb 19, 2012, at 6:04 AM, Jennifer Perdue wrote: > Hi Mike, > > Can you tell me what Motion does that navigon doesn't? I have never us

There is no way to get older versions, the current version of navigon worked fine for me, used it earlier today on a short root, I still like motion gps better because entering addresses is much easier. On Feb 18, 2012, at 10:33 AM, Mike Busboom wrote: > Hello Anne, > > Thanks for responding.

Hello Mike and Others, The app Mike Arrigo is speaking of only works in the US and Canada, and is called "MotionX GPS Drive". Even though there is a pedestrian mode supported in the app, the distinguishing part of the name is that word "Drive". What's confusing is that the same company also o
