google maps vs your navigation system

• updates: google maps is more up to date than the maps on your gps navigation system
• street view: google maps has it your sat nav don’t
• traffic info: google maps has it, most others don’t. Dash Express may actually beat Google when it comes freshness of traffic data
• satellite view: google maps has it, your sat nav doesn’t. Unless it is Lowrance 600c, but even then…
• terrain view: google maps has it, your navigation system don’t, but newer garmin or magellan handhelds allow you to add these with a cost
• points of interests: we’re guessing google beats your locally kept copy of nearest McDonald’s and Chevron locations (unless you have Dash Express, then you can do a local Yahoo search which is pretty sweet)
• transit directions: google does it
• walking directions:google does it

What’s our point? Well… one day we’re all going to have faster than 3G connection speeds and GPS in all our gadgets and all these GPS navigation systems will become obsolete thanks to feature packed Google Maps. Seriously, how can one compete with a feature like Street View? What do you think?
