Google Maps Navigation (Beta)

Wednesday, April 21, 2010

Google Maps Navigation is an internet-connected GPS navigation system with voice guidance.

Features

* Search in plain English

No need to know the address. You can type a business name or even a kind of a business, just like you would on Google.

* Search by voice

Speak your destination instead of typing (English only): "Navigate to the de Young Museum in San Francisco".

* Traffic view

An indicator glows green, yellow, or red based on the current traffic along your route. Touch it to see traffic ahead of you.

* Search along route

Search for any kind of business along your route, or turn on popular layers such as gas stations, restaurants, or parking.

* Satellite view

View your route overlaid on 3D satellite views with Google's high-resolution aerial imagery.

* Street View

Visualize turns with Street View imagery. Navigation automatically switches to Street View as you approach your destination.

* Car dock mode

Car dock mode makes it easy to use your device at arm's length (Android 2.0 devices or higher).
