Garmin Updates NAVIGON for Windows Phone 8, App Now Remembers Where You Parked Your Car
Our NAVIGON app provides the most comprehensive navigation
feature set available for Windows Phone 8, and we’re excited to add even more functions
with a free update that we released this morning. The app now automatically
remembers where you parked your car and switches to a pedestrian mode to guide
you to your final destination by foot. Additional features include Google
Street View, Bing Search as well as an EnergySaver mode.
Here are some more
details about the new features in NAVIGON for Windows Phone 8 version 4.7:
-
Last mile and clever parking: The new Last Mile function automatically saves the position of the
parked car and can help you find your way from a parking spot to your
destination and back. The app now also provides parking
options. When approaching the destination, a “P” icon appears in the map view,
providing access to a list of available parking options close to your
destination. -
Google Street View: Google Street View provides you a
street-level view of your destination before starting a route and shortly
before arriving. You can even look at a full-screen 360°view to get a better
understanding of your destination. - Bing Search: The app now integrates Bing Search, providing an easy way to search for locations nearby.
-
EnergySaver: The new and optional EnergySaver mode allows
you to save battery while navigating. This
mode will reduce the frame rate of the map display and switch off the display entirely
when there aren’t any upcoming turns. The display will switch back on as soon
as you approach a turn.
The NAVIGON USA app for Windows Phone 8 from Garmin is
available in the Windows Phone Store. Just in time for spring travel season,
the app is on sale for $29.99 instead of $49.99 until April 8, 2013.
Garmin’s NAVIGON app provides the most comprehensive

Phone 8 into a mobile navigation device with a range of premium functions, such
as live traffic information, junction views and lane assistance. On-board
navigation saves the maps on the phone, providing full navigation capabilities
without a data connection. The app also lets you plan trips ahead of time and
warns you of speed limits.
