There are lots of SatNav devices available for personal navigation in the market. The choice depends on your requirements and how often you use them. But if you own an Android-based phone, you should not think of any other device than Google Maps Navigation – an Android application that offers turn-by-turn directions for free. This is now available in UK and Ireland for Android devices.
Google Maps Navigation
“Like other SatNav devices, Navigation includes 3D views, turn-by-turn voice guidance, and automatic rerouting. But because Google Maps Navigation is connected to Internet, it also features powerful functionality you can’t get from other SatNav services including most up to date map, business, and traffic data, access to satellite and street views, and of course, search. With Google Maps Navigation you can search by voice and in plain English — just press voice search button on your Android phone, say “navigate to Sainsbury’s,” and Navigation will open automatically and guide you to the supermarket. Running out of petrol? You can search along your route for nearby petrol stations, cash points, restaurants, and car parks, without exiting the navigation path,” explains Google.
To get the app on your Android phone, search for “Google Maps” on Android Market and download the latest update.
Check the video for a demo of this fantastic app and I’m sure you’ll be chuffed like me (You think I’m an Android fanboy? You got me because that’s what I am!).
But what if you don’t own an Android-based phone or you want a specialized device? Well…we have another cool option for you.
