'MobileNavigator North America' Updated and On Sale for $59.99

Late last week, Navigon followed suit on MobileNavigator North America [App Store], dropping the price from $89.99 to $59.99 through January 11th.
The price drop comes alongside an update to the application, bringing it to Version 1.4 and adding quicker start-up time, integration with Google Local Search, and a number of other features.

Navigon is not the only high-profile GPS iPhone developer to offer discounted pricing for the holidays, as TomTom introduced a U.S.-only application at discounted pricing earlier this month and quickly followed with sale pricing on its broader TomTom U.S. & Canada version.
