Navigon turn by turn app for iOS announced some upcoming features for a fall update. The features are designed for urban navigation, focusing on the last mile, pedestrian navigation, and utilizing public transportation.

Urban Guidance

Urban Guidance considers public transportation options, such as trains, trams, busses and water taxis, when calculating pedestrian routes. Users will be guided to a transit stop by foot and be able to look up detailed information on what line to take and where to get off. The feature even reflects the real colors of public transportation lines to provide better orientation at transit stops.

Last Mile Navigation

The new Last Mile feature provides users a streamlined navigation experience when continuing by foot after parking the car. When approaching a destination, users will be informed about parking garages nearby and can easily select an option to be guided there. Once the car is parked, the app will automatically save its position and switch into pedestrian mode to provide walking directions. Since the car’s position is saved, the app can easily provide directions back to the user’s car at any time.


The Urban Guidance update will be sold as an in-app upgrade. Regular price will be a one-time $4.99 with a $2.99 introductory offer. The Last Mile feature appears to be included with an upcoming update. Again, the update is expected later this fall.
