Mobile navigation provider NAVIGON today announced the availability of AppInteract, an open application interface for iPhone application developers. AppInteract provides a simple script that embeds a link into any app to launch NAVIGON’s satnav with a simple tap, and at the same time transfers an address to instantly deliver turn-by-turn directions.

“AppInteract meets the needs that countless location-based app users face: great content is found such as restaurants, reviews or city guides, but these apps can’t provide instant turn-by-turn directions”, explain NAVIGON in a press release.

This API idea is a good idea to break the mold of the “information silos” created by app stores where, unlike the web, every application is a standalone piece of software.
