Since 2005, millions of people have relied on Google Maps for mobile to get directions on the go. However, there's always been one problem: Once you're behind the wheel, a list of driving directions just isn't that easy to use. It doesn't tell you when your turn is coming up. And if you miss a turn? Forget it, you're on your own. Today we're excited to announce the next step for Google Maps for mobile: Google Maps Navigation (Beta) for Android 2.0 devices. This new feature comes with everything you'd expect to find in a GPS navigation system, like 3D views, turn-by-turn voice guidance and automatic rerouting. But unlike most navigation systems, Google Maps Navigation was built from the ground up to take advantage of your phone's Internet connection. Here are seven features that are possible because Google Maps Navigation is connected to the Internet: The most recent map and business data When you use Google Maps Navigation, your phone automatically gets the most up-to-date maps and business listings from Google Maps — you never need to buy map upgrades or update your device. And this data is continuously improving, thanks to users who report maps issues and businesses who activate their listings with Google Local Business Center. Search in plain English Google Maps Navigation brings the speed, power and simplicity of Google search to your car. If you don't know the address you're looking for, don't worry. Simply enter the name of a business, a landmark or just about anything into the search box, and Google will find it for you. Then press "Navigate", and you're on your way. Search by voice Typing on a phone can be difficult, especially in the car, so with Google Maps Navigation, you can say your destination instead. Hold down the search button to activate voice search, then tell your phone what you want to do (like "Navigate to Pike Place in Seattle"), and navigation will start automatically. Traffic view Google Maps Navigation gets live traffic data over the Internet. A traffic indicator light in the corner of the screen glows green, yellow or red, depending on the current traffic conditions along your route. If there's a jam ahead of you, you'll know. To get more details, tap the light to zoom out to an aerial view showing traffic speeds and incidents ahead. And if the traffic doesn't look good, you can choose an alternate route. Search along route For those times when you're already on the road and need to find a business, Google Maps Navigation searches along your route to give you results that won't take you far from your path. You can search for a specific business by name or by type, or you can turn on popular layers, such as gas stations, restaurants or parking. Satellite view Google Maps Navigation uses the same satellite imagery as Google Maps on the desktop to help you get to your destination. Turn on the satellite layer for a high-resolution, 3D view of your upcoming route. Besides looking cool, satellite view can help you make sense of complicated maneuvers. Street View If you want to know what your next turn looks like, double-tap the map to zoom into Street View, which shows the turn as you'll see it, with your route overlaid. And since locating an address can sometimes be tricky, we'll show you a picture of your destination as you approach the end of your route, so you'll know exactly what to look for.

10 Reasons Android Can Beat Blackberry In The Smartphone Race
phonegeek replied to dhullazaran's topic in Android
Android nabs 7% mobile market share in first year 1 in 14 mobiles now runs Google's OS worldwide Google's Android OS has its first birthday today, and it has come on leaps and bounds since its unveiling in 2008. Starting with the T-Mobile G1 (known globally as the HTC Dream), Android is now used on seven different devices, including four from HTC. In little over a year Google has managed to nab a significant section of the market, with seven per cent of all mobiles using the OS according to AdMob. Smart money on smartphones Additionally, one in ten UK smartphones runs using Android, which is impressive when you consider the proliferation of Symbian (predominantly on Nokia phones) and the popularity of the iPhone. It's expected Google will perform well in the mobile OS war going forward too, with Gartner predicting that by 2012 Android will be the number two OS worldwide with 18 per cent market share. Symbian will still be top dog with well over 30 per cent, but the iPhone will have slipped back with just 13.8 per cent, mostly due to being used on one range of handsets. From mobiles to e-books Google is taking the opposite approach - in addition to the seven mobiles mentioned (with many more coming in the next few months) it has expanded into netbooks and even e-book readers, as its open source nature brings developer ease of use. "Android's openness has helped to speed up the mobile industry's evolution from tightly controlled data services to increasingly open access. This has resulted in a number of very popular devices coming on the market and has driven data and mobile internet usage."said Thomas Schulz, MD EMEA, AdMob. "It's no surprise that Android-powered handsets are now driving the mobile industry forward, as consumers opt for more user-friendly and powerful handsets that are better equipped for surfing the mobile web." Google will no doubt be toasting a good opening year for Android, especially as the likes of the Hero and Magic are seen by many as de facto iPhone alternatives, and we'll see how much closer it can get to that 18 per cent mark by this time next year.
