NAVIGON has updated its Windows Phone app to make it on par with its iOS and Android offerings. New version of the application(s) come with few handy features which provide users with a better navigation experience.

First, there’s Traffic Check that informs drivers of current traffic conditions with an easy-to-read gage graphic appearing after entering a destination. The gage indicates traffic conditions with a green, yellow and red field. Three small icons also let the driver know about the number of different types of traffic incidents.

Bing integration is a second major thing, allowing users to select any address found in Bing search, open the NAVIGON app and get turn-by-turn directions.

Finally, with the NAVIGON FreshMaps, users get the latest maps every three months for a period of two years. FreshMaps uses NAVTEQ-based maps which are well-known for their accuracy. The service is available for $39.99 and will be offered at a reduced price of $24.99 until August 30, 2012…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
