I gather that the issue with Google Navigation not being available in Canada is due to licencing restrictions on the mapping data provided to Google. With two of Roger's competitors now offering Android telephones, I'm sure that this licencing issue will be resolved soon. (Also, Google is working hard at making the next iPhone "killer" with their upcoming Nexus phone. I expect that Google will resolve this issue in time to sell this phone in Canada.)
Therefore, the future availability of Google Navigation in Canada will restricted to those phones running Android 1.6 and later.
This is a very compelling reason to ensure that updates are available for HTC Magic (and Dream) phones.
