Google Navigation in UK / other Sat Nav?

---

Hi

Has anyone in the UK checked if the Google Navigation app works yet? I understand it hasn't previously worked in the UK and is still "coming soon".

I use Sat Nav a lot. Can anyone recommend any alternatives for when I get my N1? (free or not free).

There was a hack to make it work worldwide for the G1

If you wait long enough (it shouldn't be too long) I'm sure one will be introduced for the N1 aswell.

BTW. Check out AndNav. I used it a bit, didn't seem too bad for free.

Google Navigation works in UK. I was in London and it was pretty good.
Anyway I live in Ireland and works here as well... but by the looks of it I thik it works for the whole Europe.

I personally am a big fan of CoPilot and on the Nexus One works great.

Co-Pilot 8

How did you hack it to work? It certainly doesn't work out of the box.

Are you saying it is working for you? I can't activate my license on the N1.

Google Navigator doesn't work for me here in Stoke-on-Trent out of the box.

So do we know whether it works or not? It does in London but not in Stoke?

Hmmm, I got navigation not available when I tried it but now I am getting google maps directions instead.

Wonder if its because I have GPS off.

Spent some of the weekend in London, it doesnt work there.

Doesnt work in Essex or in Kent either.

Ive see one chap saying that its working for him, however I think that is telling porkies.

Def no Turn by Turn on Google Maps in the UK.... for the moment.
