I think what I like best about it is that it is pretty accurate to your location. I used tom tom on my Diamond and I found that when I pulled up to a stop sign, the arrow was a bit behind. Google nav seems to be right on where my vehicle is on the road. I love it.

This is exactly why I like Google over Sprint Navigation or Garmin that I had on my Touch Pro. It is waaay more accurate.

I have found that the i can fix the problem with the map not following the Location Dot pretty simply: It works only if I open the Google Maps app, go home and turn on my GPS, then go back to Google Maps. If I activate GPS prior to opening the App, then I get the problem.

Hope that helps someone out. Ill be switching over to Damage when I find time next week.
