Introduction

Our regular readers won’t be surprised that it’s here. Neither the fact that we have it and the review is coming. Well we weren’t wasting any time and on our way home from CeBIT we’ve already been using Nav N Go’s latest piece of software for navigation. These 12 short hours were kind of enough for having a first impression and the experience gained since then made let us know mostly everything about it. Let’s not be so hasty and take a look at what were preceding iGO8.

iGO8 has been announced a long time ago, to be more exact we could have seen some background info about our countries most popular navigation software at last year’s CeBIT. We were outmost excited back then and were hoping to take the final product in our hand in April 2007. As it turned out there was a considerable amount of lag (that is one year), but looking at the final version this is no wonder: creating something like this is no easy task.

The history of navigation dates back to ancient time, but satellite-based solutions have only recently replaced the “let’s draw something route-like on the back of an ancient map” method. All right, there have been more sophisticated attempts too, but these can be considered failures compared to results achieved by PNAs (that don’t really cost that much nowadays) combined with maps covering the whole of Europe (having the same modest price-tag). In a word it’s enough to look around in cars sitting in the usual daily traffic jam and we can see a high number of navis sitting on windshields.
