With the iPhone sat-nav software, we were often told to turn at the last minute or too late, while the Google phone gave us plenty of warning.
That may be due to either the Nexus One's great GPS hardware, or the quality of Google's software. Without a bracket or holder, we had to keep our Nexus One in our pocket, but we found that the directions were up-to-date and timely. We tested Navigation on our bike around London, as we did with the iPhone sat-nav contenders. You also have the option of letting a lady with a robotic voice order you around corners. It adds sat-nav features to the standard Google Maps application, so, when you search for directions, you can now click to see your route as a 3D path along the road. We've been craving Navigation since it first came out in the US last October. Unfortunately, HTC Hero users are left out in the cold until the networks can squeeze out an update to its Android 1.5 OS. Lost in London? Late in Leicester? Misplaced in Manchester? There'll be no more tears if you're an Android user with no sense of direction, because Google's free sat-nav software, Google Maps Navigation, is now available in the UK.Īfter a stealthy overnight update to phones running version 1.6 or later of Google's Android operating system, Google Maps Navigation appeared this morning on phones such as the Google Nexus One, Motorola Milestone and Acer Liquid.
