Don't get too excited. There is a big FLAW with Google'a navigation! It
REQUIRES cellular network access at all time while using it. A GPS solution
TomTom and Garmin includes preinstalled maps that doesn't require cellular
network access. I wouldn't go to remote areas with Google's navigation.

"Other platform support will be announced "by carriers and phone makers" when they're ready, but Google implied they are working closely with Apple now on it."

So fanboys calm down a little business 101:

1) Google makes $ from selling advertising (repeat this point a number of times)
2) Google need to make sure no one OS dominates the mobile space and could then lock them out of the platform
3) It is in Googles interest to see multiple mobile OS platforms Symbian/iPhone/Palm/Android.
4) It would be natural to beta test/release applications on Android first
a) Because they control the platform
b) They want to give their platform 'a leg up'
5) Read point 1 again.]]>Oct 28th 2009 11:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/google-adds-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-car-dock-ui-to-android/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/google-adds-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-car-dock-ui-to-android/Oct 28th 2009 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/google-adds-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-car-dock-ui-to-android/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/google-adds-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-car-dock-ui-to-android/Oct 28th 2009 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/google-adds-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-car-dock-ui-to-android/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/google-adds-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-car-dock-ui-to-android/Oct 28th 2009 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/google-adds-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-car-dock-ui-to-android/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/google-adds-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-car-dock-ui-to-android/Oct 28th 2009 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/google-adds-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-car-dock-ui-to-android/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/google-adds-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-car-dock-ui-to-android/Oct 28th 2009 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/google-adds-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-car-dock-ui-to-android/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/google-adds-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-car-dock-ui-to-android/I hardly ever use my GPS on a day to day basis anyway since I generally know the local roads, so it's mostly only whipped out when I'm going somewhere new. And even then if I'd probably just read the routing first (whether on GPS or Google Maps) then just drive it. If I'm using the GPS it's only because I think I might get lost (or am already lost, lol) or because I want to monitor how far along I am.
