Let the giveaways continue! Today, we’ve got 10 copies of Navigon’s MobileNavigator app for lucky readers.
Using your iDevice as a navigator is a sensible choice on the road, but you need a good app with up-to-date mapping data to ensure you’ll reach your destination. The MobileNavigator app runs on both iPhone and iPad, and you can add in optional updates for Live Traffic, 3D navigation, truck details and more.
MobileNavigator is normally priced at $69.95. That in itself is a lot cheaper than a separate GPS, but if you win today’s contest, you’ll get it for nothing!
To enter, tell us in 30 words or less which unusual destination in Australia you’d like to visit and why. The 10 best and most creative entries (as determined by our judges) will each win a copy of the app. Entries close Friday December 16 at 12:30PM, so don’t delay! Full terms and conditions here. (And a note for our Android-toting readers: we were keen to offer some Android codes as well, but there’s not an easy gift/promo code mechanism for Android. Sob!)

Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 12:44 PMI think it would have to be Yorkeys Knob in Far North QLD (http://maps.google.com.au/maps?q=Yorkeys+Knob+QLD+Australia). It looks like it has a nice beach and a great area to go for a sail – plus how many people could you have fun with telling them you went to see Yorkey’s Knob!!!!

Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 1:07 PMEsperance in Western Australia for it’s beauty. It would truly be a holiday while still being home. And the drive there would need a handy, reliable GPS app!

Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 1:24 PMI’d like to visit Coober Pedy in South Australia. With 80% of the population living and working underground due to the heat, it’d be amazing to see an underground city built in the middle of nowhere. Plus, I might find myself an opal or two!

It shows its distinctive red colouration at dusk. The Anangu Aboriginal people try to dissuade visitors from climbing Uluru as it is to them a sacred site of deep spiritual significance.
