14 DAY TRIAL // Android mobile phone users in Australia who are fond of having Google Maps Navigation available on their devices in the country should rejoice, as the Mountain View-based Internet giant is reportedly getting ready to announce the solutions as available this Wednesday.
According to some of the latest news around the Internet, Google has already announced plans to hold a press conference at its Australian HQ.
Moreover, a recent article on iTWire suggests that the press event would be aimed at nothing else than the launch of this service in the country.
“What happens when your personal navigation device is powered by Google? We’d like to invite you to the launch of an exciting mobile update - Google Maps Navigation (Beta),” the invite to the event reportedly reads.
“Google Product Manager for Maps, Andrew Foster, will present the key features of Google Maps Navigation (Beta), which will be followed by a Q&A session.”
Basically, there seems to be little room for uncertainty when it comes to what would Google plan on announcing on that day.
It seems that attendees would be able to watch a 40 minutes demonstration of the service, followed by a 20 minute Q&A session.
The solution would certainly be welcomed by many Android users in the country, especially since there were some of them who preferred to hack their devices in order to get the service up and running.
It's a common fact that Google Maps Navigation is tightly connected to the Google Maps service, which is already available on a wide range of mobile devices, not Android restricted.
With Google Maps Navigation, users would get free turn-by-turn navigation on their mobile phones, with up-to-date maps, satellite view, street view, and more.
The service already proved highly popular in other markets around the world, and should help the Android platform enjoy increased adoption in Australia.
