Today Google announced a new application for its Android Mobile OS, Google Maps Navigation. This application will be a turn-by-turn application, comparable to a navigation unit that you would buy separately.
Still in beta, this GPS navigation system will feature everything you'd expect in a GPS navigation system, like turn-by-turn voice guidance, automatic rerouting, and 3D views. Like the Maps app we have on our iPhones right now, Google Maps will be able to take advantage of your phone's internet connection.
The first phone to have Google Maps Navigation and Andoid 2.0 will be the Droid from Verizion, but Google's Vic Gundotra said Google is working with Apple to bring the application to the iPhone. Saying, "The process involving Apple is slightly different from the usual App Store submission process, because Maps is a built-in iPhone application."
