Another one from the launch period for the iPhone – Vodafone also announced its Vodafone Navigation App is available from the App Store. The app provides turn-by-turn navigation, with voice instructions and speed camera alerts, for any location in the UK – as you might expect from a Sat Nav app 🙂
At the end of April 2010 customers can decide to keep the app for the length of their contract for just £3 a month, or choose to take it month by month for £5 a month. Customers can also access Western European maps for an additional £5 for each month they are used.
I’m not 100% sure how this is going to fare in the comparison stakes, given the world-busting announcement that Nokia just made for owners of their devices (free Nav!). I’m also not sure about the monthly charging, since Standalone Sat Nav users are used to the one-off charging for their devices – not a monthly fee. On the upside though, there is now definitely no shortage of Sat Nav Apps for the iPhone!!
The Vodafone Navigation App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone or via iTunes
