Use google navigation in uk?

---

Does it work in the UK? Can't see how to use it?

Anyone got it working??

I doubt its running yet as Motorola Milestone still doesn't have it. Having said that, someone has managed to get it working on the Milestone using instructions from this site: http://jkkmobile.blogspot.com/2009/1...n-by-turn.html

I bet you could use the same instructions to get it working on the N1

If google map works anywhere in the world, would'nt this navigation feature be just the same? So, out of the box, it will not work outside US?

I have tried this and it works on the Google Nexus One shipped to the UK. The only problem I have so far is that where | assume it shows the name of the street I am currently on it states "Unnamed Road". Apart from that, it seems to work although I have yet to try it properly as we have a lot of snow about and icy roads! When you zoom in, even the street-view works.

I can't imagine why Google have not enabled it for outside the USA with some sort of "beta" warning.

I have upgraded from a Hero and whilst I miss some of the HTC custom widgets, the Nexus has a beautiful display, the voice recognition is magic and an "official" navigator would be the icing on the cake for me.

apparantly there is some sort of licensing issue - google have an agreement with the people who provide map data in US but have struck the same deal overseas. They said last August that they would work on it...

There is a workaround that works for now (a previous loophole was closed by googles servers), albeit in a more limited capacity
