Have these Google people actually used their own app? When I bring up Google Maps for Android, the settings I get are Switch Account, Cache Settings and Labs. If I bring up Navigation then the only setting is screen dimming. Oh and both have some setting to bring up pages of legalese. Where exactly am I supposed to enable or disable this location setting?

Thankfully they do support secondary roads. My Garmin GPS has a live traffic receiver but only has information on the highways and very major side roads. This means it can't make a decision about getting off the highway if there is a problem.

Google also unhelpfully do not make it possible to report map errors from with the Maps/Navigation app. They claim there is parking in the middle of a park near me which is definitely not the case.
