Its release was a nightmare for GPS manufacturing companies as it basically offers the same information they do, but for free. And since it is connected to Google Maps Navigation System it is perfectly up to date so you don’t need to update your maps yearly. The only problem for Google right now is that this service only runs on Android mobile phones of version 2.0 and higher, and its share in mobile sales is still small at the moment, so GPS manufacturers have some time to come up with ideas on how to compete with Google.
