So Google recently announced a navigation app that is destined to change the game. Not because its an innovation, but because it is free. The Nav App has officially been released for all phones running the latest android build and is promised for the IPhone. Everyone reported that Tom Tom and Garmin both lost significant points on there Stocks when this was announced but this is a non issue because its purely driven by speculation. Speculation that Google will do better at what these companies do best. Doubtful. Being brand new, Google Nav suffers from a lot of deficiencies. First, it only can guide you when you have cell phone reception. Dedicated Nav Units are always connected and don't suffer from cell phone reception. And two, in a recent review by Engadet show that the app has a long way to go on giving directions that actually work. All in All, Don't throw away those dedicated navigation units yet. Check the video out below.
