Google Maps Navigation could come to iPhone, other platforms soon

Ooh, goodie! Try as we may, we've yet to really find a (good) free alternative to Google Maps Navigation on the iPhone, and while Navigon's MobileNavigator gets our highest recommendations in the paid GPS department, Google's own turn-by-turn option is just about enough to make any iPhone-toting traveler jump ship and snag an Android handset. Thankfully for us all, it seems as if this predicament won't be nearly as trying in the near future, with the company's own Steve Lee confirming to TechRadar that Google Maps Navigation would be coming to "other platforms" in due time. MacUser specifically mentions the solution coming to iPhone OS, and frankly, we couldn't think of a better app to ship alongside version 4.0 than this. You're good at taking hints, right Goog?

i kind of hope it doesn't at this point considering i just bought CoPilot for my TP2 like 2 weeks ago. plus i think Android is taking off too much for them to start giving away all the best stuff it has for free.

Think about it people, IF Google released it on the iPhone and IF Apple accepted it nobody would ever buy a nav app for iPhone again think of the money Apple would lose with their 40% cut, not billions but certainly millions. Google win
