Google Maps is one of the most popular if not THE most popular freeware apps/preloaded GPS apps for any handset. It works great on almost all handsets including some of the lower end models and is extremely easy to use. Although it provides you with directions on getting from point A to point B, it’s easily usable if you don’t have drive since voice guidance has been part of the deal. That’s about to change, at least for Android handset users. Google Maps Navigation (Beta) has been designed for Android 2.0 devices and is expected to have frequent GPS users in a tizzy. The features would include 3D views and even turn-by-turn voice guidance and automatic rerouting. The new mapping system is an internet-connected GPS navigation system with voice guidance. It uses the handset’s net connection to update the system on the latest maps and business data. These are the list of features that the new Maps with Navigation offer -
