Open Navigon App from Maps in Mobile Safari

Let me preface by explaining the use for the Navigon Connect Bookmarklet. I understand that there are apps out there that already connect to MobileNavigator, this is just another option if you find yourself on Google Map’s site in Mobile Safari and want to quickly open MobileNavigator with the destination you found on Google. With that said, lets get to business…

1. Drag this bookmark to your Bookmark Bar in Safari and sync your bookmarks to your iPhone through iTunes.

2. On iPhone, find a destination on maps.google.com

Destination on Google

3. Select the Navigon Connect Bookmark from Mobile Safari

4. MobileNavigator opens with the Longitude/Latitude coordinates from the destination in Google Maps.

*Tips: This only works from the Google Maps website and for best results make sure that your destination is in the middle of the map. Also since its only one line of javascript code its really easy to add it to Quix. Be sure to check the Quix site for syntax.
