Default [MGP] Google Maps Navigation – Free Sat Nav

Quote:
Google’s free turn-by-turn navigation is the main news today.

Gizmodo got a chance to play with a Beta on an Android 2.0 based Motorola Droid handset and were very impressed.

It has Google tech, like Street View and satellite imagery, and voice-powered search.

Watch the video below for the full lowdown.

Google Navigation may be free on the android phones but IIRC it's a paid app on other platforms.

I never had to pay for Google Maps Mobile on WM 6.1 or 6.5. It's free.

Google Maps and Google Navigation are two different apps.
I knew you were going to say that. When the turn by turn nav is supporting windows mobile it will be free as well. Google maps mobile has everything the turn by turn speech has, expect turn by turn speech nav. Search by speech, street view, sat view, turn by turn directions. It just doesn't include the speech directions yet.

The Google Nav program will be free when its supporting winmo.

Well, I giggled a little . Verizon has a history of GPS shenanigans in order to encourage VZ Nav use.

Ah, I see that now, well you can understand my confusion as it's called google navigator and I've seen this program discussed on ppcgeeks.com many times in GPS threads. I just kind of assumed that since it's called google that it was from google, lol.

Oh, and I never pay more than a couple of $ for any app if at all, that's what I love about WinMo so much, thousands of apps and most are free.
