Google Should Make Apple Beg for Maps Navigation

Just a question...

So how do you navigate if there is no 3G reception?

At the moment, Google Maps will navigate you out to the middle of nowhere and then stop working... No?

Cool "feature".

So... what happens if you're out of reception?

No 3G connection and Google Maps... doesn't work? The time you're most likely to need (middle of nowhere) it, it won't work?

Google Redefines GPS Navigation Landscape

Ovi Maps (free, and previously called Nokia Maps) has been available on and for Nokia phones for a couple of years now.

V3 just released. You can even install the maps from your PC, so if you hit an area with crap reception... i.e. You're in the middle of nowhere... Ovi Maps still works... Google maps... well... No reception, no idea where you are and... well... oops. Minor flaw there.

Then there's the bandwidth costs of downloading megabytes of maps if you're not on flat rate.

Basically, the CEO needs to start firing people.
