Google recently launched a flu shot locator, which uses Google Maps to show searchers nearby locations offering seasonal and/or H1N1 flu vaccine.

Google users can find this information on a standalone page as well as in Google search results when searching for terms like [flu], [flu shot], [h1n1 shot] and [flu vaccine]. The flu onebox also includes tips on staying healthy from Flu.gov.

About The Google Maps Navigation Beta

Google has introduced their Google Maps Navigation (Beta), an internet-connected GPS navigation system that provides turn-by-turn voice guidance as a free feature of Google Maps for Android 2.0 phones.

I am not sure how stand alone devices manufacturers like Garmin will respond to this type of product introduction, but I am pretty sure in the end what product enhancements they may introduce will ultimately prove insufficient to the Google Maps Smartphone threat.
