With the launch of Android 2.0 on the “attempt to kill iPhone” phone the Motorola Droid. The new Google maps for Android features turn by turn directions equivalent of those offered in PNDs (personal navigation devices). The great things about this is you get live and up-to-date data. The set back of having such a system is that when you are out of cell coverage you are s.o.l.. Regardless it is very cool technology which appeals to the consumer market. A Google executive confirmed that a similar native maps application is on it’s way to the iPhone. Enjoy the vid!
