Navigation Google Maps to UK

The peeps over at Electricpig.co.uk have been very very busy indeed playing around with their HTC Magic Android device to get Google Maps navigation running outside the US, more specifically in the UK.

It actually looks pretty good, according to Google, Google Maps is US only. But now then do we all like to toe that official line? Thought not, with the help of trusty readers, the free satnav software is now running in the UK already.

No need for a Visa or a US passport, and no need either for a Motorola Droid!. With almost no messing around, Google Maps Navigation is working on the HTC Magic, despite it only supposedly being able to run across the pond.

Have a look at the screenshots, you will be able to clearly see that it has no trouble at all in finding turn by turn routes around London and showing off with Street view, although there are a few kinks the voice command feature isn’t working at the moment . Source – intomobile.com
