V2.8 is out ... adds i.a. warning about bad GPS / Compass, improved routing for cyclists & "silent corridor" for the vibration feedback,
Working on 2.7 - will enable you to store the last 5 address searches offline, so no internet connection is needed

Update 2.6 released. Enjoy the new features.
Revising the information on the research study we conduct with the PocketNavigator.
And we have revised the Address Search to be less ambiguous http://yfrog.com/9g4xcp
With the next update it will become possible to enlarge the direction icon http://yfrog.com/83psqp
Some got the impression that they only can search in 5 cities. Must make clear in the UI that you can search for any address.
New Version released with a auto-rotating map and YOURS routing (based on OSM).
M.: tested increasing waypoint radius with increased speed to adapt navigation to mode of travel
M.: Integrated icon showing visually how far and in which direction the next waypoint is.
M.: expect turning instructions soon
M.: expect an update in the next 24 hours addressing some issues with Android 2.2 on Nexus One devices.
M.: many new participants in our user study. Thanks!
There it is: the PocketNavigator v 2. Be guided by vibration patterns only, invisibly to others. Now available for Android 1.5
M.: expect an update soon. We make the PocketNavigator available for Android 1.5.
