The only thing that lacked in Google was a proper navigation app, otherwise it had everything  needed for a perfect navigation app.

Google Maps Navigation (Beta) has just been announced today for Android 2.0 devices.

It is the next step in Google Maps that will be featured in Android 2.0 devices, and the first phone to get this will be the upcoming Motorola Droid, which will be making its way to Verizon on November 6. I still wonder what other to-be-yet-announced features Droid and Android 2.0 have.

This new feature comes with everything you’d expect to find in a GPS navigation system, like 3D views, turn-by-turn voice guidance and automatic rerouting. But unlike most navigation systems, Google Maps Navigation was built from the ground up to take advantage of your phone’s Internet connection.
