It&#8217;s in beta, and is only available for Android 2.0 phones (e.g., Verizon Droid), but I can already say that this is a huge change for the GPS navigation industry.</p>
<p> <span id="more-2984"></span>
<p>Here’s some of what is available…</p>
<ul>
<li>Aerial imagery</li>
<li>Street View with your route overlaid on it </li>
<li>Voice search</li>
<li>Live traffic</li>
</ul>
<p>What we don’t know is how good the implementation will be, how well routing will layer onto Street View and aerial imagery, and how good their traffic data will be. We also don’t know if this will be ad-supported and if so, how that will be implemented. So there’s lots of questions, but there’s plenty of eye candy, um, screenshots at the link above, and a video below, so check it out.</p>
