Navigon Offers Free Download for GPS iPhone App - Audi Las Vegas Navigator

Navigon, a world-leading manufacturer of navigation systems, is announcing a promotion for its Audi-branded Las Vegas Navigator app for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.

Requiring one of the aforementioned iOS-based devices, and firmware version 3.0 or later, Audi Las Vegas Navigator is free to download for a limited time in anticipation of the International CES trade show in Las Vegas.

“Visiting the 2011 International CES in Las Vegas? Grab the app now! - It's available for a limited time only,” Navigon announced.

“Audi Las Vegas Navigator transforms your iPhone into a fully functional mobile navigation helping you to find your way to the 2011 International CES in Las Vegas,” the company continues.

According to the official description, Audi Las Vegas Navigator uses the reliable iPhone navigation software MobileNavigator and includes Nevada map material from the market leader NAVTEQ.

Last month, Navigon released version 1.7.0 of its MobileNavigator iOS app for North America.

The app transforms a user’s iPhone into a fully functional navigation system that is every bit as good as the company’s multi-award-winning personal navigation devices.

MobileNavigator offers a wide range of maps and even more features and functions, Navigon said.

Back to the Audi Las Vegas Navigator, the developers outline the following key features for this free-to-download piece of software:
