Ah, thanks for the info, and this makes sense. It didn't look as though
aNavigon was that accessible, so it makes sense to have Ariadne as the primary
app working off of Navigon.

Does Ariadne tell you what street you are crossing? I was reading the

Sounds like the previously mentioned afconvert will do it from the

Hello Wayne,
Navigon does not download data while in use unless you sign up for some of the
