The Motorola Droid is live, and it's bringing the hurt to the Android space. Verizon's first Android phone sports a 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash, GPS, WiFi, 3G data, microSD card and Android OS 2.0. Take a tour with us as we check out the new Google Maps Navigation app featuring turn-by-turn voice prompts. The Droid is the first Android smartphone with Google Maps Navigation.

not sure if you ever got an answer but if you want to turn of google maps there should be an app from the market place which does it. Hope that helps.

yeh, but i can’t figure out how to turn off google maps on the droid, so it is burning my battery too fast.

I bought a moto droid and by far the best phone I have ever owned hands down. If you buy this phone get an app called trapster. It uses navigation to tell you where cops are. I use it all the time on longer road trips. And yes trapster and the google maps/navigation are free. google maps comes already installed.

is this app free? or wat ever this is is it free?

anyone know if there is an android program that lets you use the gps like a handheld one that tells you on a map where exactly in the world you are with longitude and latitude??? mainly for people who like to go into the wilderness where there is no phone reception.

dude iPhones might have good apps and everything, but they are kinda boring… There’s basically no customization. If you’re like a business person and don’t care about that, w/e. but im 16 and dude, thats most of what i look for in a phone. iPhone just doesn’t have any customization to it, IMO

Remember how long gmail was in beta?
I haven’t been this happy with a phone for a VERY long time. Great buy.

December 27th, 2009 at 1:25 am

December 27th, 2009 at 1:29 am
omfg im getting this for xmas. its so ill. but im almost positive they will eventually charge like 20 bucks a month for the GPS. everyone gets greedy. plus it says BETA so this can be a free trial run

lol apple came out with one phone and shits on all others for 3 years straight with minimal changes
December 27th, 2009 at 2:57 am
iPhone does has google search voice and can do the same. It also has many GPS apps on app store and They work great and have better look than the original map of iPhone and the Droid.

The Google Maps Navigation demonstration could have avoided all the annoying camera wobbling about if the camera had been fixed on a tripod and the Verizon device had been mounted on the dock, IMHO.

Veeeery nice.
December 27th, 2009 at 3:50 am
this is quite cool if you have super fast UMTS everywhere and a flatrate bu I rather have the maps installed on my phone

lol. A verizon/google posse here? I have skinny fingers, read exceptionaly well. Hair on my nuckles? Where you get ideas like this… you realize to argue you should argue the point, attacking charcter does nothing but show you have no point and you are a moron…

Hey earthling.. stop being such a tool.. perhaps your biggest issue is you have chubby fingers or don’t know how to read. You can’t expect something completely new to come out and work perfectly the way you want it to right out of the box. Navigation works great for me.. but then again I don’t have as much hair on my knuckles evidently as say someone like you.

I actually used the voice rec. in a mall lotsa noise, it got VERY close to what i asked. but not perfect =[
December 27th, 2009 at 6:52 am
They simply released the phone without proper testing. And google maps itself has many problems which ‘pass’ onto the phone as problems with the GPS capabilities.
December 27th, 2009 at 7:08 am
I have never used an iPhone
I also never use macs. Never really liked the apple company. I waited for a good phone to come out, and the droid came. However, I have experienced many problems with it. It is a good phone, but needs MANY fixes. The GPS especially has lots of problems with correct locations(my location and guiding to wrong locations/addresses). Comparing a phone to a real GPS is fine. GPS didn’t come out THIS year… It has been out, and it should work… Not new tech…
