Tools Google Maps get offline navigation?

Google is already actually provides an opportunity to enjoy the free navigation, but now it needs to download data from the Internet, which requires the cost of traffic. Earlier it was possible to reduce costs by caching card, but any deviation from the route or the need to chart a new demand to the new data, which accordingly led again to generate traffic. This made navigation service Google Maps on the phone much less profitable than acquiring individual programs from the navigation company Garmin, NaviTel or similar.

Now there was an unofficial information from the Dutch life All About Phones that before the end of the summer, Google will offer a full offline navigation service within Google Maps. Currently, only Nokia is offering to its Symbian OS phones free navigation service Ovi Maps, which does not require loading data from the network. The transition to production of smartphones with the Windows Phone 7 will allow other companies that use this OS, get a free navigation from Nokia, together with the OS. It is very likely that Google are concerned about possible reductions in interest in the operating system Android, which offers only either Google Maps or a separate navigation program, because it yubom case turns more than the free offer Ovi Maps.
