Works well as a sat nav but could do better
Just got back from a weeks driving holiday in Israel. The igo software got me most places I wanted to go, and it kept me off the pay to use route 6 as i had requested.
The map was up to date enough for my needs, though the points of interest are severely lacking for me as a tourist. The keyboard doesn't remain in roman mode, rather it jumps back to Hebrew at every oportunity. The voice instructions are clear, and I heard a lot about being over the speed limit - for some reason it's not often signposted.
You can use your iPod and igo software reduces the volume when giving an instruction (it also works through the dock connector). Though often times it reduced the music and didn't give an instruction at all.
It's not as good as navigon is, but it was cheaper than renting a nav unit on my holiday, and works really well.

Works great - almost flawless. Works with tom-tom car kit and iPhone 3G
Worked like a charm while on vacation in Israel. I used this application with:
- iPhone 3G (not 3G S)
- TomTom car kit (GPS signal receiver)
Conclusion: The essential tool for a foreigner to safely navigate the streets of Israel. (thankfully available on US iTunes store unlike the Orange Israel app).
Much better than the rental car company's no-name GPS.
Only problem: Bit slow to startup - sometimes the application is too slow and the application exists (this is an iPhone feature). Note to NNG: make it launch really quick.
Persistence prevails and the application does launch (albeit slowly) most of the time. Everything else is a great user experience.
Worth the money - so you can drive like a local. ;-)

Slow and buggy
Very good interface, but very-very slow. It's ok if you have your next turn in 12+something kilometers, but rather useless in a crowded city: it's easy to miss a right turn with a stalled application and get into endless rerouting cycle. Routing itself is quite good though. POI aren't also accurate, for example, car return office in Ben Gurion (actually Terminal 3) routed by iGo to some distant crossroad near Terminal 1.
