GPS lock on very fast
Pinpoint location more accurate
No delay with voice guidance

Tried to used google navigation for few days already.. Few attempts..

Feedback/review

1. Quite friendly UI. Easier to use
2. Location search accurate in street name.. POI not so much at current.. Same as before.
3. Auto zoom very friendly, fast and good.. Landscaper mode also view very clear.. Better than any navigation out there..
4. 25 minutes routing with 12% battery consumed.
5. Traffic view need to try few attempts anymore.. Not sure about that.. Satellite view ok.. Like.

So far I'm still satisfy with the navigation beta.. Street search the best.. Then POI I'm feel my papago is better..

Yes, previously you have to get a modded version to have it work in Malaysia.

But now it's already 7.0.1 but navigation is still beta smile.gif

even in 6.x.x when its in BETA, it was already very good and can suggest 3 different routes + traffic info + congestion + estimated time etc

i won't go on to say Google Nav is super good or what...

personally, i still prefer waze.

last week, i tried out Google Nav... on this road from UM to Sin Chew traffic lights (used to be roundabout)... close to Sin Chew and what used to be Phillips... cars from the right (coming from Section 17) can come into this road. but cars on this road can't turn right into Sec 17. however, Google Nav actually asked me to turn right... tongue.gif
