Erik: I tried
#google_maps_navigation out for the first time yesterday on my
#samsung_captivate_sgh_i897 IT IS AMAZING. It is better than any consumer GPS on the market, and it's free. The traffic and satellite layers are great, and with a simple press of the screen you can go into street view. The analogy for me is Google Maps Navigation to All Other GPS units is Google Maps to MapQuest. If that makes any sense. (
@dom have you tried this bad boy out?)
