Future of Google Map as car navigation system?

I’ve made a new post on Mobinode about Navi2Go, a car navigation system on mobile phone. It was a great opportunity to have an interview with 3DVU the provider of Navi2Go.

I’m personally curious about Navi2Go’s future competition against Google Map. It provides you a direction to your destination and real-time traffic status. The Google Map for iPhone has also added the Street view feature in its latest update. And yes, it’s free.

In terms of features, however, Google Map doesn’t have a voice guidance with real 3D photos, which keeps Navi2Go more attractive. But nobody believes that Google Map for iPhone is the final update - sooner or later, it would be updated with more features. We just don’t know what’s next on Google Map.

What if Google Map is integrated with Google Earth, which is already available on iPhone? Or, what if voice recognition system is integrated into it? How will Navi2Go keep its advantage in the market, when Google Map provides more competitive features for free? No answers for those questions yet of course, but I guess we’ll see in a new few years.
