Google integrates their hugely popular Google Maps to Android Mobile OS – What comes out is plain awesomeness that has power to make all the paid GPS services and devices literally redundant.
Don’t mistake Google GPS for normal mobile Navigation Device – It has awesome features that would put high-end GPS devices to shame.
Have a look at this Video and see the features that Android based Google Maps Navigation system (currently in beta) offers – You would be floored.
The best part about Google Maps navigation is that it uses the Internet as the backbone, instead of relying on limited proprietary Maps.
