Who needs a Garmin when I have Google Maps Navigation
I tried the new Google Maps Navigation on my Droid today on my way home for work… pretty sweet. The directions were clear and gave ample time before I needed to make any turns. It also seemed to adjust really quickly to whenever I would deviate from the original route. The only negative was that it did seem to suck a bit of the battery during my half hour commute because the screen obviously has to be kept on the whole time. But it does turn by turn directions with street names. Makes me pretty glad I didn’t buy a standalone GPS that I was looking for a couple months ago. Looks like I’m going to need to buy the car dock and possibly a car adapter for longer road trips.
For more information on some of the features, watch this video:
