Today my point is about Google maps Navigation in Android phones.

Its the same thing like OVI maps for Nokia. But the Google Maps Navigation wont work in India. It works only in US. So currently its a useless piece of program whose output is just an alert “Google Maps Navigation is not yet available in your location”.

But now we have got an alternative. A BRUT way..

xda-developers are providing brut google maps which will allow people from India also to use Google Navigation.

  • worldwide navigation using Google Maps Directions
  • map tiles caching on SD card
  • force-enable MT. If you’re on Eclair or some custom Donut and don’t have multitouch zooming, then maybe this will enable it.
  • force-enable Buzz feature
  • fix for map shift issue in China
  • option to hide zoom buttons
  • installable on non-rooted devices
  • could be installed beside original app

Want to try??? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630887

But always use the renamed one. As when we try to reinstall google navigation it will pop up an error. Its in a read only state.

Its working for me :)
