Verizon has a rather nice overview of a few of the Droid features that everyone is sure to love. One of the things that I’m most looking forward to is the addition of Google Maps Navigation. This functionality should make every executive at Garmin, Magellan, and TomTom sweat profusely.
A number of people have been using GPS systems in their car for a number of years. Garmin seems to be the most ubiquitous system on the road these days with the TomTom probably coming in at a distant second. However, I’m not aware of real “street view” imagery in use on any of these devices not to mention purchasing the head unit or getting maps for countries not in North America can set you back a few dollars. This feature is fantastic primarily because it turns your phone into a *true* GPS navigation device without the need for a seperate device.
