Free GPS navigation on cell phones

 
Google unveiled a free navigation system for mobile phones in a move seen as a potential challenge to the makers of standalone GPS navigation devices. US telecom carrier Verizon Wireless and US handset maker Motorola announced simultaneously that a smart phone going on sale in the United States, the Droid, would be the first to feature Google Maps Navigation. Google Maps Navigation, which will only work on smartphones running Android 2.0, includes many of the features of a traditional GPS device such as 3D map views and turn-by-turn voice guidance.
