Google unveils free turn-by-turn directions for Android devices
Macworld —
Posted on by Dan Moren , Macworld.com Congrats, Google: you’ve finally rolled out a mobile feature that’s got me ooh-ing and ahh-ing. In advance of the Droid launch, Google has publicly dished on its new turn-by-direction service, Google Navigation, which will be available on Android 2.0 mobile devices. It’s currently, of course, in beta—this is Google we’re talking about, after all—but also in typical Google fashion, it’ll be free when it’s released. Based on Google Maps data, Google Navigation is pretty much exactly the kind of turn-by-turn navigation solution that you’d expect Google to develop. In addition to existing Google ...
GPS Makers Just Got Lost Due to Google Maps for Android 2.0
jkOnTheRun —
While today might go down as the day the Droid took over, it’s just one handset. Oh, it’s a sweet handset — one that has me tempted to get a new Verizon account — but at the end of the day, it’s just one handset that will have the spotlight until the next great handset hits. The bigger news in the long term is what comes with the Droid, and other Android 2.0 phones in the future: the free Google Maps Navigation for Android 2.0.
I’ve watched the above video demo — and I’m boldly going to make a prediction. Google has trumped ...

This won't be great news for TomTom, Navigon, or any of the rest. Google ...
Random thoughts: Apple’s 100,000 iPhone apps and the Google GPS app
Macenstein —
Random thoughts: Apple’s 100,000 iPhone apps and the Google GPS app Two things happened today that filled me with a resounding feeling of… “meh”. Well, actually lots of underwhelming things happened today (I’m rather hard to over whelm thanks to various mood evening drugs)) but two Apple-related things happened. Apple to hit 100,000 iPhone Apps The first announcement did not officially come from Apple itself, rather it came via the blog-o-sphere. Apparently Apple has now passed (or will reach in the next day or so) the 100,000 mark of apps on iTunes. I’m not all that sure that Apple should be all that proud of hitting that milestone. If anyone should be ...
