Google Maps Navigation on new Motorola Droid
by Melody Adhami on 28th October 2009You may not have heard but the new Droid phone by Motorola was released today and it has created quite a buzz in the tech world not to mention an unfortunate drop in some GPS on board navigation manufacturers.
The new Droid phone is the very first Android phone to run Android 2.0, and Google Maps Navigation is the talk of the town. Not only is the Google Maps Navigation application better than on board navigation devices since its connected and online, but it is a better navigation tool than other mobile devices since it has a slew of new and advanced features including:
- Easy search (no need for address)
- Voice search
- Traffic information (from data sources and crowd sourced from app),
- Street view close up pictures when you get near your destination.
- The car dock mode gives bigger icons and auto-voice mode
It’s impressive to see such grand strides in the mobile space but not unexpected since for companies like Google its just an extension of what they currently have. As Google leads the way, we will see that it is only natural to extend digital offerings to mobile devices.
Enjoy the video and if you don’t have a data enabled phone you love, give the new Droid phone a real consideration (if for nothing else than the street view on the Google Maps Navigation app).
