Google Navigation coming to Iceland soon

Google reported recently that their navigation system, Google Navigation, will be offered in some new countries. So far it has only been offered in big European countries and North America, but the newest update will include some smaller countries, including Iceland. The navigation system is still not working in Iceland but is expected to kick in soon.

Until now, google maps has worked fine in Iceland, but Google Nav offers some better features, especially when using it in a car. The system gives navigation instructions out loud, as many are used to from normal GPS car systems.

Google Navigation will understand Icelandic with the newest update

It should be possible with the latest update to control Google Nav by using your voice, and this time by speaking Icelandic. This new technology will soon come with the Android OS, so people won't even have to look for it.
