Google Maps Navigation reviews

By admin On November 2, 2009 Under New Gadgets

Google – master of the universe – as you know came up with their own, completely free GPS navigation program, Google Maps Navigation . There are a few reviews around and we thought we could share them with you: gadgeteer : Mostly positive review but the down sides are screen size, voice quality, and of course data access… A nice fix would be for the navigation to load in all the maps for the route, so I don’t need to sweat the connectivity. Every network has holes, I assume Verizon has far fewer, but it is still annoying.
