navizon on iPhone

As you know Navizon is as close as you can get to a GPS navigation system on iPhone. Earlier this month they released their second version of the software. Navizon 2.0 does what the previous version did but with a few more features and some cosmetic changes.

It displays a semi-transparent slider bar on top of the map which lets you choose if you want to update your position continuously or whether you want to see your buddies or not.

Another nice feature is that Navizon 2.0 can run in the background while you do other things with your toy:

This means that you can now display the location of your loved ones in real-time with the Buddy Finder and use our exciting new feature called the Navizon Alerts, which will let you receive an email each time you or one of your buddies enters a geographic area.

In case you still do not know about Navizon; it simulates a GPS by triangulating via cell tower or Wi-Fi access points. However Wi-Fi positioning only available with the full version which is free to try but costs a one time fee of $25.
