Anyone use Android navigation frequently?

I'm seriously happy with it right now, the traffic aware routing update saves me 1/2 to 3/4 hour every day.

LA traffic is brutal, every little bit helps...

You mean Google Maps navigation? Yes I use it all the time. I don't have a standalone GPS so Google Maps works great.

Used it when I was out for med interviews all over the country. Only time it sucked when I was in rural tennessee, but it still worked well enough

I used it for a month straight last summer, and if I didn't have it I would probably still be there. I rarely need it any other time though as I generally know where I'm going and traffic updates won't apply.

Yes. Not daily, but anytime I go somewhere I haven't before. Or, if I have to drive to LA.

Constantly. Works much better than any third party app out there. I am mad cuz my new Archos doesnt have it installed and I cant access the regular market until I root it.

I've used it once or twice. Since my cars have had it built in, I tend to use that instead. I really don't like tying up my phone and having to worry about keeping it charged. Plus even a 4.3" screen is 1/4 the area of cars nav.

No need to be all douchey about it...


Just kidding.

i use it on occasion, it works well for the most part. except for that last time, i went to fix a computer for someone, their address came up over a mile east of where it actually was. that pissed me off. it also gets kind of annoying with the repeating itself when youre coming up to a turn.

Yes, and I even have navigation in my car. Didn't want to pay $180 for an updated maps DVD so I just use Android navigation. The recently added traffic rerouting feature is the cherry on top.
