And stop being so stubborn - the Droid and the Milestone are basically the same. The only difference is the GSM/CDMA, some market bullcrap and the locked bootloader on the Milestone. The apps google provides function the same including Google Maps Navigation with turn by turn. It's funny how the synthetic voice lady pronounces our roads, I almost drove off-road because I laughed so hard.

Hehe, I didn't even see that locations are shown on here next to each post.
But actually the Droid and Milestone are COMPLETELY different between Canada (Milestone) and USA (Droid). They get turn-by-turn voice navigation directions, we don't. Big difference. I also believe they can't pinch-zoom on the Droid. Only tap in/out. (at least that used to be one of the differences). But the main thing right now is US Droid customers get voice navigation with Google Maps, and Canada Milestone customers don't. And since you can't be staring at your screen the whole time you're driving, looking for upcoming turns and information, GPS is pretty much useless with Googlemaps without the voice nav.
And yes I followed your instructions, I entered my destination, but all I get are little popup bubbles above my dot with the TEXT of what to do. Hitting menu at this point gives no option to turn on voice navigation (or any sort of audio alert of upcoming turns for that matter)
