We apologize for being fanish, but Google has pulled off something with its new Navigation elements in Google Maps (or is it Google Maps in a Navigation app? It's hard to tell) that has serious ramifications for a navigation device industry used to charging money for functionality.

I've got enough people telling me where to go, I don't need machines doing it too.

I like that you can set it up to use satellite imagery instead of just a regular map like all the other GPS units.

I have it on my g1 and works pretty nice, it even shows you a street view when you arrive at your destination.

I'll tell you google is the new skynet.
