While the free google nav is fine on MT3G, I still bought a TomTom XL on black friday, the one with the 4.5 inch screen for… 80 bucks. WTF are these companies thinking releasing a software package that costs as much as a dedicated device?

You don’t need to worry about cell coverage with Google Navigation, because it will cache your route while in a coverage area so that you won’t be left in the dark if/when your coverage is dropped, randomly.

Stick with the free navigation…its actually really good..I used it for the first time this past Friday when going to visit a friends new born in a staten island hospital..I hate staten island bcuz the street layout is nothing like the rest of NYC..anyway..my tomtom led me to a church by the same name as the hospital on the other side of the island…luckily for me, my handy dandy g1 came to the rescue

Too little, too late. $89 for a phone that costs about $100? I would just buy a Tom Tom, then, for the rare occasion that I’m somewhere with no coverage.

No market here, spin again.

doesn’t gNav also work outside the us? at least i’ve got it working here (but never tested it on the go yet).
anyways, i don’t think that there is much room for high priced (90$) navigation systems on android. just too many free or ‘low priced’ navigation systems are already out there (nav4all, foxNav, copilot, etc.)

I would google nav when I was in my own country. be on vacation but I think the Internet costs a little more expensive. (and I’m waiting for android 2.0 phones that do come from the Netherlands.)

I received that Nav update to my G1 on my vacation and used it on the way from Jersey to Florida> I was just about to buy one on black friday and Im sooo glad I waited. Free Free Free free .

If a paid app works when there is no cell coverage I am in. If not I am staying with the free apps. Why pay for no added functionality.
