Google maps for mobile doesn’t do turn-by-turn anyway, so I think its a moot point.

The moment I started it, the program told me the exact building where I was – the GPS didn’t have a lock and the previous location where I used it was some 5km away. Incredible! Google do everything right. Too bad I am not on a data plan and have to pay 0.14 euro/MB

Do you know how much traffic it generates for 100km navigation for example?

It pinpoints the location, sometimes with surprising accuracy in seconds (way faster than the gps lock on) it also kicks in if gps signal is broken (inside buildings etc)
Too bag google maps is so data connection intensive =/
