oogle confirmed at a London press conference that it plans to bring its free turn-by-turn navigation app to other smartphone platforms, including the iPhone, according to a MacUser report. The company wouldn't say when it expected the application to be available for the iPhone. Google Maps Navigation requires an active data connection when planning routes, though not while traveling. “Google Maps pre-caches the entire route,” said Mobile Maps product manager, Steve Lee. “It needs a data connection when you ask for navigation. But while driving to your destination, if you intermittently lose the connection, it will still carry on. As long as you stay on the route.” You can take a look at the Android app in action by watching the video below
