- drivebyacct2 14y agoWhy? Google has a huge source of information for traffic analysis, time estimates via Google Maps. The "ETA" on Nav is precise no matter whether I'm in podunk Midwest city or Seattle and I get traffic overlays in both as well.

- drivebyacct2 14y agoI can't say that I have. Granted, there is a huge amount of territory in the United States that is neither San Francisco or New York. And as much as you or I may not like it, it seems pretty clear that Google primarily targets the United States for new features. (Given the crowd-sourced nature of their traffic data, I would venture to guess that it's partly because of legal issues).
- smithian 14y agoI have used my android phone for turn-by-turn navigation, finding transit, restaurants and other POI, translating foreign-language signs, etc. making me a pretty independent world traveler in Tokyo, Hamburg, London, Milan, and Paris. I have rarely had any problems with their location-based features.
- auxbuss 14y agoPretty much every day for the last two years. My Android phone is my satnav. It works. Faultlessly.
- candeira 14y agoThey work for me fine in Melbourne (frequently) and Madrid (though I have used it sparsely there).
