Hi,
Since Getting my Samsung Galaxy S - Vibrant, I haven't been able to find how to do a voice search with Google Maps or Navigation. This is disappointing, because I upgraded from a WinMo phone and it was very easy to use the voice search.
Also, today Navigation routed me to a major highway which was closed. I thought the whole purpose of live, internet connected navigation was to avoid these situations. Why didn't it navigate me the opposite way which turned out to be much quicker? Luckily I listened to the traffic report and avoided the closed road, but these are the things I should be able to depend on Navigation for, aren't they?
Another thing, I have to use it in tandom with my Garmin, which has Navteq traffic built in, because the Garmin lets me know whether I should be in the Collector or Express lanes on the highway, but it only knows about highway traffic conditions. Navigation almost always wants me to stay in the Collector lanes.
Although I love that Garmin is able to tell me which lanes to be in, I love that Navigation can pretty much pinpoint the amount of time it will take me to get to my destination, that's the one thing it does well.
One final complaint about Navigation, if I tell it to avoid tolls, make it stick please! I don't to have to set this for every single trip.
