Navigon was out showing off its upcoming 1.5 update to its MobileNavigatorturn-by-turn guidance software. The update is due in March and brings several new features:
- Panorama View 3D: NASA sourced elevation data to provide 3D views of the landscape
- MyRoutes: Gives you up to 3 alternative routes with different route recommendations based on current traffic conditions as well as your personal driving profile.
- Facebook and Twitter Integration: broadcast where you are and where you’re going.
Also announced was a new OpenAPI "Appinteract" for Navigon’s software that will allow other App Store developers to pass destinations directly to MobileNavigator. For example, if a restaurant is found within iPhone AppWhere To?, a single tap can launch and initiate routing within MobileNavigator. The actual data is simply passed as a specialized URL, so the implementation should be simple for developers, but is much more convenient to the end user. The 1.5 update to MobileNavigator should arrive in March.

Holidays can be easy to forget, but if you forget this one, you may be up the creek. If you are not good with dates, this application will help you to stay on track. Just be aware that it comes with all of the cutesy bells and whistles you would expect from a Valentines day application. Expect to see cute teddy bears and deep red backgrounds, and hear sappy music. On the bright side, you can turn a lot of that off in the options menu.

Be warned, though, that this app will not be able to do anything for you if you leave the shopping to the last second.
