Be a tourist in your own country with NAVIGON’s new Lonely Planet package for compatible Samsung GALAXY smartphones!
NAVIGON is bringing the great Australian road trip to your compatible Samsung GALAXY smartphone with the launch of a new Lonely Planet package for users, available with the latest upgrade to NAVIGON for Android™ 4.6.
NAVIGON for Android 4.6 offers a number of new features, including Google Street View, Last Mile and Urban Guidance, as well as the Panorama View 3D in app-package. These new features will help you to arrive at your final destination with ease, while the Lonely Planet package provides a wealth of tourist information along the route you select.
Purchase and download the Lonely Planet in-app package to access 25 road trips across Australia, including the Great Ocean Road, Murray River, Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley to Coffs Harbour, Barossa Valley and Sunshine Coast. The distance of each tour varies but along the way, the app calls out key points of interest like landmarks, museums and historic buildings, places to eat and drink, and accommodation options.
The Panorama View 3D feature uses satellite information provided by NASA to present a three dimensional perspective of the road ahead. This is particularly useful when entering steep and unfamiliar terrain. Exclusive to the Samsung Electronics Australia version of the app, Panorama View 3D also presents three dimensional images of key city landmarks, helping you to orientate yourself in unfamiliar cities. In Sydney, landmarks like the Sydney Tower will be clearly visible from a distance so you can compare your NAVIGON maps to your actual surroundings.
Finding your final destination in both metropolitan and regional areas is now so easy with the introduction of NAVIGON’s innovative Google Street View feature. The app presents a picture of your destination on the screen when you start navigating, and you can pull up this image again as you approach your destination.
For users who are walking or taking public transport in the final part of their journey, NAVIGON has introduced a practical Last Mile function, which saves the location of your car after parking and leads you to your destination on foot. With the new ‘back-to-car’ button, NAVIGON can easily take you back to your car location – or a pre-saved location afterwards.
The addition of Urban Guidance to NAVIGON’s growing stable of features means users can now also incorporate public transport into their chosen route. The app will guide you to your nearest transport stop by foot, and lets you look up detailed information about which route or line to take and where to get off.
Other new features of the app include Click-On POI, which presents clustered POIs in an easy-to-read list. A new MyMaps button is available for Samsung users only, and provides easy access to the NAVIGON map manager.
The NAVIGON for Android 4.6 upgrade is available for free on selected Samsung GALAXY devices: TAB, S (running Android 2.2+), SII, SIII, Note, W, Ace, Gio, Fit, Mini, and Y. On other Android smartphones, NAVIGON Australia for Android is priced at $59.95. The Lonely Planet and Panorama View 3D in-app packages are available exclusively for Samsung users for $6.00 and $10.00 respectively.
