Navigon??

Post by UK Bloke »

Hi
I see there's a new update for the XT which adds 'Navigon' as a new release, any idea what this adds to the device?

From Garmin web site:
Navigon.com and Navigon Fresh are no longer available as of Nov. 30, 2020. We have deleted all personal data except that which we are required to retain by law for regulatory or reporting purposes, such as invoice data. Any questions can be sent by post to the Data Controller, Garmin Würzburg GmbH, Beethovenstr. 1a, 97080 Würzburg, Germany, or by email at [email protected].
From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navigon
(…) Navigon's products included Navigon branded personal navigation devices as well as OEM software for the navigation, wireless, and automotive sectors. Navigon had offices in Asia, Europe, and North America, and employed more than 400 people.[3] Navigon AG was purchased and fully acquired by Garmin Ltd. in July 2011.[4] On December 1, 2020, Garmin has announced the discontinuation of Navigon products and customer service.

So probably you’re right, it’s just new map theme.

No, a theme is just 1kb, and this is 1.27 mb, and a kind of firmwareupdate.

Hmmm, interesting - nothing like this here in Austria for Zumo XT (6.30), just a Cyclops-Update and a icelandic keyboard...
