What's traffic capability do, Adrian?
I tried to look at it and came up empty in every direction.

It's strange that it no longer shows on Navigon's website. I saw it there the day I posted.
Basically it is supposed to help to find alternate routes if there is traffic congestion on the route that it would normally find. I haven't purchased the add-on yet, so I am not sure how well it works. I never bought it for my TomTom because it was an annual fee and I don't use my gps that often.

Adrian,
Like I just said, I bought it yesterday.
I played hell trying to find out how to buy it. Turned out I had to buy it from inside the Navigon app in my iphone.
I found it amond "more options", then clicked on it, paid for it through itunes (on the fly) and it was immediately activated.
Totally cool, and it worked great. Was well worth the $29.99. I wish I'd have bought it when it was 20 bucks. I just never thought I'd use it.
Go figure?

I'm not sure if his was previously mentioned, but I downloaded Mobile Air Mouse the other day.
Sometimes I hook my computer up to the TV to watch something. Only problem was I had to get up to play/pause. With this, I can do it from across the room.
Made my wife laugh at the nerd that I am, but that is ok.

I haven't bought it yet. I always seem to have some trouble with Navigon. Really slow. It's much faster for me to use google maps and then just find where I am going. I wonder if it just works better on a 3GS than a 3G.
Sorry that I didn't mention it was an in-app purchase.
