This really does look awesome.
I already use my Android phone for GPS navigation, so something like this would be great.

  I use a hacked version of Google Masps called Brut Maps.
  [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630887]
  
  It is based on Google Maps 4.6, so you don’t get the vector based maps with rotate and all the nice features of Maps 5, but I find the navigation works very well.
  
  I keep the audio down, because I don’t like the voice, so I just look at the screen, but I used to do that with my Tom Tom anyway.
