A new entrant into Australian GPS navigation market,
NAVIGON AG, has just released a free application for iPhone to allow users to display their current position on a map as well as search for nearby points of interest (POIs).
MobileNavigator LITE is a scaled down version of NAVIGON’s flagship product that will soon be launched in Australia. It will transform any iPhone 3G equipped with the new Apple OS 3.0 operating system and any iPhone 3G S into a complete navigation device. The LITE version also works on iPod Touch devices with the OS 3.0.

The downside is a massive initial download (
reported to be more than 1GB!).
