The news neither bodes well for current owners of the models affected OR for the image of Navigon itself in a wide climate of choice.

Navigon need to do something, a gesture, promotion of some kind to maintain its small share of the market once they have the system up and running 100% and not release some excuse of a Beta product again that's not fully tested.

I see on Navigon's International site that yesterday there was a news flash about a Beta version of Fresh for Mac users being available. Anyone interested?

Just seen this post today on Navigon's Facebook thread in response to a query about UK Live Traffic on the iPhone. If it's true I certainly hope that the PNDs will be updated as well!

"they (Navigon) advised 10days ago that currently at testing stage and should be available within two weeks - by Wednesday at this timescale
One of the users did see traffic work on his route for one day and that is when Navigon confirmed this timescale - fingers crossed - not long now!!!!!"

Navigon have just announced LIVE services are now live for the UK on their Facebook page.

What makes you think people are abandoning the 8450?

Not sure if anyone's interested (or are a lot brighter than me and already know anyway Embarassed ), but I was interested in what happens if you take the traffic-rerouting option when warned of a problem, and the problem clears while you are on the diversion. So I asked Navigon - they confirm that you then get put back to your profiled route ("fastest", etc) automatically.

I assume that this applies with both TMC and Live Traffic.

They also confirmed that mobile cameras have been added to their camera database.

A bit of info about POI Warner from navigating.de
Quote:
We are working on a scalable interface but the menu components are fixed in size at the moment. The only thing we can scale at the moment is the green/red POI-Warner status button in the corner of the screen.
Probably no one's interested, but I can PM the details about scaling the status button if anyone wants.
