Hi
According to this gsm Galaxy S review google navigation is not available?
So you get google maps but navigation does not work ? IS the review correct?
out of the box it's only Google Maps but Google Maps needs to be updated in Market to get Google Navigation Beta
Ah so it will depend on the country you are in ? My G1 has google navigation here in the UK. Can someone in the UK with this phone confirm ?
Thanks
Hi, Im in the UK and navigation works perfectly.
UK here and navigation was added after a market update to Google Maps, like mentioned above. It wasn't on when I first got it.
Cool. Thanks for the update guys.

Google maps (but you'll pay your phone bills crying). You wont find any free apps with offline maps because GIS is biiiiggg work and wants to get paid. I love Garmin XT, Oziexplorer with own maps for offroading/hiking
any other options?
- google maps does not support voice
- im sure i read someware that the map can be cached and downloaded offline. anybody can help?
AmazeGPS is an alternative.
They have some issues with the current version but a new build is out this sunday according to their forums.
Hi,
I have a program using google maps, and I want it to show the new google maps, but each time the program starts I see the old version of google maps.
Do I need to use different method thenthe one described in the google android developers site to do that?
I can see that it is the older one since in the old version there are no maps for my country, and in the new one there are.
(I can see the new maps using the goole maps app)
Thanks,
Amir
Does google maps navigation work with the Canadian X10 from rogers? I've downloaded version 4.1.1 of google maps and there is no navigation, do i need to enable something or is it disabled in the rogers version?

I was curious about this as well, but found the answer here very quickly.

So yea...no go for Canada
It is not limited to the US anymore, UK and Ireland now have it. Doesn't help for the original poster, but anyone else who stumbles across this may be interested.
There is a 'hack' that you can use that does not require root...

Bruted Google Maps Navigation is working perfectly on Xperia X10.

google navigation works fine for my rogers x10
go to google maps, search for a destination, click the little popup bubble on the destination for information on that destination. click the second icon from the left on the top and a menu will pop up saying get directions or navigate. click navigate and google navigation starts
Hello fellahs.
After installing the new version og google maps (version 4210) i now have a navigation app launcher in the app draw, however i live in a country were google maps navigation isnt available, and it tells me aswell when i try to launch it.
So my question is if you people that live a place where maps navigation is available, have always had that app launcher, or did you first get it in this update aswell?
The app looks like a blue arrow and is just called "Navigation".
Iam just wondering if google is gearing up for realeaseing navigation to new locatins.

Its new for this version.

In the car, put Galaxy S into its mount, and weather, view map, voice search and navigation icons are instantly displayed. The Google Maps Navigation application allows you to find your destination easily and quickly even through the most complex streets. As you make your way, Galaxy’s internet-connected navigation with voice command and preinstalled Google Maps, provides three different views. Real street view, traffic view and satellite view.

Am I the only person who gets "Navigation is not available in your area" when I load the navigation app? Samsung are selling the phone with navigation as a feature, one I intended to use which is disabled because?
I was under the impression that Google Navigation was only available in the US as of right now.

I'm pretty sure they opened it up recently to the UK a short while ago, but so far I think thats it
I had the same issue, had to instal brut google maps to have working navigation. I knew google maps navigation wasn't available here, but it was kind of among to have a non working app pre installed ob a phone that is sold locally.
Sorry double post.
Just install Brut google maps

Its works in Canada.. Google Navigation has been working in Canada for about a year now.

There's no google Nav in aus yet as mentioned. Brut[maps] works, but be aware there are still some small subtle oddities (which don't really affect it's use), such as going the wrong way around on roundabouts (So if it says second exit, that might mean second exit counterclockwise, NOT the correct way).
