How to Use Google Maps on Motorola Droid

Google Maps Navigator is the coolest GPS app we've seen to date. It's not perfect. It's still in beta, and it's missing a lot of stuff. Don't toss out your portable navigation device just yet. But it's clear Google is raising the bar for voice-enabled, turn-by-turn GPS navigation. Granted, one service on one expensive phone on one carrier will not vaporize the entire PND market anytime soon. But it could certainly cause big trouble for TeleNav and Networks in Motion, if not Garmin and TomTom.

When it rains, it pours, huh, Google? Not even a week after announcing the big multitouch update for its own Nexus One, Google has turned loose a new version of Google Maps that enables pinch-to-zoom support on the Droid. Of course, it was no secret that Android 2.0 had the framework in place to support this kind of stuff -- Moto enabled it all by its lonesome on the Euro-spec Milestone -- but it looks like this could be the watershed moment where multitouch finally becomes a must-have feature on Android devices across the board, as Moto CEO Sanjay Jha recently suggested would happen. The new version 3.4's available as a software update in the Market right now, so grab it if you've got your Droid handy.

Google, who has been feeling especially touchy-feely this week, just rolled out Google Maps 3.4 which supports pinch to zoom on the Droid. The update is in the Market now so get to downloadin' and then get to pinchin
