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.
