Comparing Google Maps on a Nexus1 to the inbuilt Honda one

Entering destination on a small screen is more difficult, voice
recognition is hit and miss (mainly miss)

constant downloading of maps on-the-fly can eat a lot of data (which can
cause annoying bursts of radio interference if it's dropped back to GPRS
rather than using 3G)

If it doesn't know resolve the address properly it can end up just
taking you to the geographical centre of the first half of the postcode.

It doesn't give sufficient advance warning of turns

it has bad text-to-speech pronunciation of road names and numbers

in short, it works, but not amazingly well ...

Dedicated charging cradle.
