Google has been slowly extending its Maps Navigation feature throughout its Android platform, coming most recently to Android handsets in the UK.
At the UK announcement in London, Google confirmed its intention to bring its navigation to other platforms including the Apple iPhone.
Free turn-by-turn Google Maps Navigation could threaten the industry of GPS navigation, especially if offered on a device as seemingly ubiquitous as the iPhone.
Google won’t say exactly when we can expect the feature to roll out, and given Googles strained relationship with Apple, will it even be allowed?
Apple’s never balked before about essentially nerfing apps, by updating iPhone features, but then they didn’t allow Google Voice, either. If Google succeeds in getting its Maps nav on the iPhone, will they also release an iPad 3G version?

Sorry, you’re wrong on this one. They never said they would develop for the iphone, and have since specifically stated:
“We did not say we would bring it to iPhone, we said to date we’ve had it on Android and that in the future it may come to other platforms but did not confirm this will be coming to iPhone at all.”
As an iPhone user, I really, really want the Google nav app, but we don’t know if it will happen.
