Pretty damned slick, and to me, at least, a lot more useful than the
dash-mounted GPS-only devices. Apparently at the moment the mapping
programs are more developed and more featured on the "Android" based
cell phones, as opposed to the iPhone cell phones.

Might be enough to motivate me to trade up my flip phone to an Android
phone. :)


I can enter an address into Google Maps and click the send button. Then
I click "car". I choose my car manufacturer, enter the email address
associated with my car, and it's there the next time I start it. Cool
stuff!

You are just finding out about this? You are behind the technology curve
again.

My BB has had this capability for a couple of years.

But you have to pay extra to use your BB to navigate. Android uses
free Google service.

I opted for the Android and save $30 a month in BB mail service.
Android mail apps have a ways to go but they're close enough now. I
didn't think the nav service was worth $10 a month so I never had it.


For the iPhone, perhaps for others, you can get TomTom as an app. It's $100
and I don't really need it, but it talks to you just like the regular
TomTom.


TomTom is a crappy GPS. I have been in cars with them and they miss
turns by a block or more. I'll stick with Garmin or my OEM version.

Android/Google Navigation is equal to most of the GPS units I've seen
and way better resolution. It's better integrated than my outlook
email app, which I'm hoping takes a step forward soon.


I ordered a 'Droid "Incredible" from Verizon. Should be here this week.

Wow!
