Which sat-nav software works with Nexus One

---

Hi all.
Finally got my e-mail saying my Nexus One is on its way, yipeee..
Does googlemaps turn by turn software work here?, or even the android co-pilot 8?
What are you xda members using?
Thanks in advance everyone.

google maps navigation works, dont know about the others.

Really? Are you sure?

Mine just gives directions and draws the route on the map.

Yes, of course it does turn by turn.

Thanks..

Does googlemaps work like tomtom etc, i.e does it speak and say "at the next junction turn left" etc.

after entering directions press "Navigate" from the list.

yes, and it has Text to Speech, meaning it will speak street names. It also has live traffic and such.

You should probably know you need a data plan for this, because google maps are loaded on-the-fly and are not stored on memory (except your most recent places which are cached)

Google Navigation only works if you're in the US. If the device detects you're anywhere else it will only bring up the standard maps app, so you need a 3rd party one (unless someone hacks it, assuming it's hackable given that it requires data off the net to work.. if google don't have navigation data for timbuktu it won't work there whatever you do..).

Awesome..:)

Thanks again melterx12
I was worried about having the N1 and no sat-nav software for a couple of months...
Is yours a US or International N1? and does it have pinch zoom?

im in US. no pinch zoom because multitouch is disabled in the US.
