Google has just announced Google Maps Navigation for Android 2.0 “Eclair”. With this application the users of Android will get free Turn-by-Turn navigation software. Its almost the same as Google Maps but it will offer a 3D view also, the other features are turn-by-turn voice guidance and automatic rerouting. The only minor issue is that it uses continues internet connection. Just like AndNav and Nav4All. But the benefits are:

• Always have the most recent maps and business data

• Search with the power of Google (no need to know exact address, Google can do the legwork)

• Search by voice

• Live traffic data just like you see in the current Google Maps with real-time information

• Search along route allows you to search for results that won't take you far from your route

• Satellite View -- high resolution, 3D view of your route

• Street View -- you'll be able to see where you need to turn, what your final address is, etc

With this application Google will make a big step into the turn-by-turn navigation area but will they break the competition? We will see, won't we?
