google maps over tomtom

[Akalatengo]

I'm definetely getting a Desire as my htc Cruise is getting rather of an antique, however I realy enjoy my tomtom and not fancy paying again.
My question is, is google maps a reliable step by step driving directions? and does it got voice maps?

I think Google is one of the most reliable when it comes to maps etc.

If you want to get Google Maps Navigation just follow this.

1. Open Market - search SpeechSynthesis Data Installer - install

2. Download maps3.3.1-by-directions-root-2.apk from maps3.3.1-by-directions-no-root-2.apk ... at uploaded.to - Free File Hosting, Free Image Hosting, Free Music Hosting, Free Video Hosting, ... to your computer

3. Copy maps3.3.1-by-directions-root-2.apk to Milestone with USB cable

4. Install it on Milestone ( use any file explorer to open it, I used Astro )


Once its done you will have 2 google maps icons. One is the old one and the other is the new one with turn by turn voice navigation.

Might work, I'll give it a try on Saturday

Just remember that Google Maps will use data, while I assume your TomTom has the maps loaded on the device.
