Today Google announced they will offer the same free turn-by-turn Google Maps in more countries from now on. If you want to use it outside UK or US, now you can if you live in Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland. That's more than only two countries, isn't it?

Google Maps Navigation is an online GPS navigation system with voice output and is available starting Androi 1.6. The application uses the smartphone's internet connection to get accurate turn-by-turn indications. Many shops and different places were updated, petrol stations are also on the maps and there's also street view available. There's also car dock available for various handsets. 

Some of the countries will also have voice search available, such as Germany, Canada, France, Italy and Spain. Other developments are expected soon, with Google declaring more than once they want to fully cover the whole Europe (with street view too) in a two-year time. Half of it already passed and as we can see, Google continued the good work they've started with Google Maps. Let's see which are the next countries that will get the Google Maps activation.
