Re: Google Maps Nav for WinMo to drop today!

I'm fairly skeptical of the claims made in the linked story -- not that I blame you for posting it, because it sounds interesting, if true. But I can't find a second source saying that it's coming, and the linked article doesn't state how they know that it's coming.

Re: Google Maps Nav for WinMo to drop today!

Actually it was just a misunderstanding of what the author said. What he said and what he meant were 2 different things. He said... "The release of Google Maps today could help android tomorrow." What he meant was... "It would be good for Google to release navigation for Windows mobile sometime soon because it could actually help them against Windows mobile." Unfortunately I can see how the author could clearly be misunderstood and he should have made some clarifications.

But he then also says

"Now it starts to become more clear: Google tomorrow releases Maps Navigation for Windows Mobile 6.0 through 6.5; platforms Microsoft still provides “mainstream support” for."

I really hope this is true. Anyone know for sure??!

Well I went to google maps for mobile...

http://www.google.com/mobile/maps/index.html

...at the bottom of the page, under suppported phones- WinMo is not listed for navigation. And then I clicked on Navigation Beta--Learn more...

http://www.google.com/mobile/navigation/

...and on that page it says...

"...To get the latest release of Google Maps with Navigation, search for 'Google Maps' in Android Market."

I think that you could bet if Google was releasing Navigation for WinMo they would at least say so. If you Google the topic what do you get? Anything from TechCrunch or Engadget? Nothing. Those guys would be all over this.
