    I just downloaded Where on my Droid and it is AWESOME. And I live in a small town! I can’t wait to move to Austin.

    Anyway, is it possible that in a future update there could be a button next to each entry, and that button would jump you straight into Google Navigation without having to go through the extra steps?

    @MB Glad you’re enjoying WHERE (and your new Droid). As always, we love feedback and ideas, so thanks! I’ll be passing your idea onto our Android developer.

    @MB how about that, already have an answer for you.

    if the phone has google navigation i’m sure we can manage something, but not all vendors are upgrading to 2.0.1 (the only SDK with google navigation)

    So its a likely, but very reliant on the vendors upgrading their phones to the latest Anrdoid OS.
