Google announces Maps Navigation for Android

Just when you thought that Google Maps and Android could not get any better, there’s this: a turn-by-turn GPS that can find the nearest burger joint for you – free. Dubbed Maps Navigation (beta), the app will give you voice navigation, traffic, integration with Google Maps, satellite view, map view, and no multi-touch, but this is something that the iPhone can’t deliver out of the box, which Apple insists is because of “legal issues”. And still good, it comes with a horizontal “car dock” mode, so you can use it just like you would use a nuvifone, as seen in the picture above, which is intended for viewing at “an arm’s length away. Slap this onto Android 2.0, and every Android phone becomes a must-have.
