As some of u may already know that Google has made an agreement with the US Government to disable the Turn by Turn Voice Navigation for Android phones outside of the USA. So installing the Nav Launcher app alone will not help.

But there is a workaround solution to this problem.

I've tried the following method and it works on my Motorola Milestone
I have Turn by Turn voice navigation using GPS + Brut Google Maps 4.2.0.4210-brut13. (see video below)




Brut Google Maps 4.2.0.4210-brut13


Features:
international 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

Credits:
canadiancow for starting a brainstorm; an idea to use maps directions as backend for navigation; great Nav Launcher app; helping and support
TAPP for enabling "Navigate" button; first version for non-rooters
acamar for his research on map shift issue in China
many, many people for testing it, complaining ;-), helping others, etc.
Google for making this great app and service and for not sending C&D to me so far ;-)

Installation:

Just download & install. Then you will have both original and modded maps installed at once. If you want to have only my version, check section below.

Note: You may need to download Nav Launcher first from the Android Market to get it to work.

Nav launcher in Android Market does this for you also.

prob is it charge money rite!?

yes.

You cannot just download and install Nav Launcher just like that. Below is a description on Nav Launcher

Launches Google Maps Navigation in countries outside the United States.
Supports navigating to contacts, or a typed/spoken destination.

This requires that you have already installed the modified Maps with Navigation for use outside the USA. See forum for instructions.

But if u are like me on Digi's Smartplan RM68 unlimited data package, u won't have to worry at all since the max charge per month is RM68 for unlimited internet data usage. Once u hit the 3gb cap, they just throttle your speed and u can continue to use free of charge.

This is cool. Works on my htc desire

maxis desire or non-maxis desire set?

the nav launcher works on my non-maxis Desire.....

o.ok.. tx bro..

if u are using brut map u dont need nav launcher (IMO)

oh i was using the brut9 map that was required after the installation of Nav launcher... now i have removed both Nav Launcher and brut9 map, and installed this brut13 map.. works as usual

am using the brut map on my tattoo and its awesome !!

cant seem to install it in... my package installer says that it cant parse the package...

Aye? You didn't install it using HTC sync ?

EDIT: ops, forgot that this is Android general topic, not HTC only.

tried this weeks back and it totally works like charm.. an alternative while we're waiting for a full feature GPS app for android 2.1 (english UI of course)

Do u need to root before u can run this fix?

err... i'm sorry but what do you mean "fix" ?

if you mean the brutmap navigation, no need root.. just download the application and install to your phone...

this works for me. it works well. it is able to reroute quite fast. i dont get the annoyign command to do "u turn at next available exit" like garmin. and this app takes less time to re-route based on my current heading.
only funny part is listening to a gwailo pronoucing our road names. damn funny.

It works on my HTC Legend perfectly too.
I have brut13 installed.
If you are using brut9, you will need nav launcher but I cant find Nav Launcher in the market anymore.
I am hesitant to uninstall Nav launcher. i'll keep it since its a very small sized app

i read somewhere that they just open up google navigation to a few countries in eu.
hopefully, it be matter of time before its launched here.
then no need to use brut...
