Open Mobile Map

This is a demo of the Verizon VZ Navigator GPS based navigation system running on a Motorola V325 handset. The video is a bit bouncy, but that is what happens when you film in a car.

I made a special helmet today to poke some fun at AT&T. Ryan wore it around Nashville this evening and here are the results. I’m actually a satisfied AT&T customer myself, but when I thought of this idea it was too funny to pass up! The map was made with a sheet of Plexiglas hand-painted with the map from Verizon which I printed out in full size and traced before painting. Ryan was wearing a wireless mic under his jacket (to avoid notice) which accounts for the audio scratching. At the mall, I put the camera into a bag and carried it nearby. We couldn’t have the camera too close to the action in the mall because of the wireless receiver which made the camera look just a bit too “pro” to be recording in public places.

The Motorola Droid is live, and it’s bringing the hurt to the Android space. Verizon’s first Android phone sports a 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash, GPS, wifi, 3G data, microsd card and Android OS 2.0. Take a tour with us as we check out the new Google Maps Navigation app featuring turn-by-turn voice prompts. The Droid is the first Android smartphone with Google Maps Navigation.
