A few weeks ago Google had launched their Google Maps Navigation (Beta) for Google Maps on Android 2.0 devices. That feature has now become available for devices running Android 1.6 (Donut) and higher. Their internet-connected GPS system with voice guidance and automatic rerouting is definitely a feather in Google’s cap as Google Maps can easily be described as one of the best freeware, universal, non GPS requiring, mapping applications for mobile handsets. The addition of voice guidance adds a little more ‘oomph’ to the service. If you have a phone running Android 1.6, you can download an updated version of Google Maps from Android Market to use Navigation today. Google Maps Navigation is in beta and is currently available in the United States. Some features of Android 2.0 are not available on Android 1.6, for example, the ability to use the "navigate to" voice command. However, users can still create a shortcut that will allow them to launch Navigation and start getting directions to a specific place from their current location with just a single touch from the home screen.
