Google seems to be getting on the nerves of GPS manufacturers with their latest novelty. Recently in news, Google launched their GPS product as part of the Motorola Droid handset which is now being sold by Verizon Wireless. For now just in USA, but what if they happen to commence it globally to take on all the global GPS players? That would change the entire market for them, wouldn’t it?
For present the enhancement to the Android mobile operating system will include a full GPS navigation solution. Every single GPS device manufacturer will be disappointed with Google for this disturbance. Year 2009 has already been a pleasing year for the Google operating system product, with tons of introductions just in the last few months which WATBlog has nearly covered.
The Droid is the initial Verizon Phone to run the Google Android operating system. The biggest feature the Droid offers is Google Maps Navigation. You can just press the microphone button on the handset, say what you want, and the phone does the rest. It'll explore the web and give you instant results, including a phone number or driving directions. Then, it can use those directions and direct you where you need to be.
If you don't know precisely what you're looking for, you can say something like 'find pizza' and the Droid will bring up the map and show you the nearest pizza shops.
On top of that, the Droid has a 5 mega-pixel camera, and access to the Android Market with over 15,000 apps presently. Overall, the Droid is a pleasant, powerful phone and is very customizable.
By the way, the Droid also offers a full QWERTY keyboard. I've also found an fascinating app that lets you control your laptop mouse by using the touch screen on the Droid itself!
