What’s New? NAVIGON for Android - Version 5.5.0 15th October 2015

Street Parking This free feature provides Live information1 about the current street side parking situation. The service will start in 6 major cities of Germany : Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Stuttgart and Bonn. A quick roll-out to more urban areas is planned. How to use Street Parking : In address search a “P” icon is shown in the destination overview map to call Street Parking information. During navigation or in Show-Map mode the service can be called via the overflow menu (3-dot icon in the upper information bar). When being in a served area, the single road side elements will get coloured in green, yellow or red2 to indicate the likely availability of parking spots in these city centers. A long-press on the desired road segment will open an additional window in the lower half of the screen, with detailed information, such as road name, distance from own position, time of parking allowance, restrictions and the hourly price. In seldom cases detail information may be incomplete. When parking is chosen as a destination and the approach is less than 15min away, the application will start to check the status of the selected parking segment. In case the situation changes for the worse the user will be informed and an option to seek for another parking area is offered. The service has been developed using floating car and historical data in partnership with parking information supplier Parkopedia. 1Street

Parking is a Live service and therefore a data connection is mandatory. Charges from your mobile network supplier may occur depending on your contract when you use that service. 2Colour

Select destination from pre-view map When searching for a familiar place but the exact address is unknown it is sometimes the fastest way to enter the known part of the address and then seek for the desired location on the map instead of commencing a lot of map scrolling right from the own location. This is now possible: just push and hold the pin in the preview map and it will allow you to pan and zoom the map to any place you want. Tab the pin once more to take over the address of the place it is now pointing to.

Improvements and Bug fixes •

For QHD devices (resolution 2.560x1.440px) the route is now drawn about 20% bolder to allow an easier recognition.



The widget has been updated for the new design style introduced in version 5.4.5. Furthermore the height has been adopted for QHD devices



The arrival time of an Urban Guidance route including a train from Deutsche Bahn - which calculation was so far based on the current system time - takes now the actual train departure times into account



Memory of the map perspective by navigation type: Different settings are now remembered when switching from one to another navigation type and back.

Android 6.0 (Android Marshmallow) NAVIGON has been tested on Google Nexus devices running Android 6.0. No issues have shown up until now. Due to the fact that so far there were no further roll-outs of Android 6.0 on other devices, we currently cannot give any further statements about stability.

Please note that you must not disable any of the important permissions for the application in the new application permission setting. Any disabling may cause malfunction, crash or freeze of the application!
