This article was a product comparison between two iPhone apps, the Navigon and the TomTom. Both are turn-by-turn navigators designed to utilize the iPhone GPS and are made to compete with actual GPS navigators.
Both products have similar features, including, walking mode, and the ability to save favorites. Each product costs $99. The differentiation is with the Navigon because it offers an update that converts text to speech. Navigon also offers a live traffic feature that the TomTom has yet to offer. In conclusion of the critique, the Navigon beats the TomTom due to its features, look, and ease to use.
