Philipp Kandal, co-founder of skobbler said: "We’re very happy with the great success of GPS Navigation 2 to date. The incredible evolution of the OpenStreetMap project, which has again seen significant two-digit percentage quality increases in several areas that are essential for us in the short period since GPS Navigation 2 launched, make it truly the most dynamic digital map on the planet.

"This can only benefit our customers as we continue to provide them with frequent updates at no cost, especially when you consider that our map updates are always current at the time of release."

Marcus Thielking, co-founder of skobbler, said: "To have two million customers in such a short space of time is quite overwhelming. It demonstrates again just how popular mobile phone navigation is becoming. We are thrilled to have achieved such a major milestone and are delighted to see so many people using our app."
