PDAmill Offers a Sneak Peek at Nav N Go.
"PDAmill, the leading developer of mobile games have unveiled the secret project they've been working on it the past year. Their new Navigation Solutions division have been busy developing a new PDA-based navigation solution in cooperation with the new startup company, Nav N Go."
Now here's some interesting news. PDAmill are busy finalising their GPS navigation solution called 'Nav N Go'. Complete with a 3D map and voice guidance, 'Nav N Go' is definitely one to keep an eye on. If you're after a few screenshots and a couple of videos, PDAmill's 'Nav N Go' website is the place to visit.

i hope it doesnt cost alot. $50 or so would be the sweet spot. i just got my gps and was counting on it for the car, but all the software is $100 and up...and being that pocket streets doesnt offer directions i might have to pay that much  when will the nav n go be done?

if this is VGA i'm really going to look into it - watched the 3 min video and despite the uber cheezy soundtrack it looks damn good...

It does look good. VGA will be a big selling point if it has it. I really like Mapopolis, but their upgrade has been in this Beta thing for a year. I'm at the point I need to consider renewing my map subscription or buying something else.* For rzanology, $100 is probably about what I'd expect to pay. That's on the low side of good nav software. About the cheapest thing around is DeLorme's Stree Atlas Handheld. It takes some getting used to, but it does work.
*Mapopolis maps don't expire, BTW. Their model is you get a year to download what you want in the series you purchased, i.e. subscribed to. Then you can use them forever with a version of the software that supports that series. I've always thought 'subscription' was a bad term to use.

Wow, that's impressive! Nice app, though I wish they hadn't artificially sped the whole thing up (giveaway is the real-time re-routing calculation, unless they were on a crotch-rocket).
But my biggest concern is a North America/USA/Canada/whatever version. Europe always gets the neater GPS stuff first. I'm shopping around for a good GPS solution, and this could be it.

That application looks really impressive!
PDAMill has made some really good games in the past so I have high hopes for this program.

Visually pleasing. This might be the one I'm looking for too, provided it has VGA support, a reasonable price and is not just available in Hungary
