Google Navigation hacked onto T-Mobile G1 (updated)

It's always a good sign when a device-specific product release becomes the focal point of the XDA development community: it means you've got a winner on your hands. Not that anyone ever doubted the intense demand for Google's new turn-by-turn Navigation introduced exclusively on Motorola's DROID. No more. Brave souls have now tweaked the original code to run on the original Android device, the HTC G1 running on T-Mobile. Anecdotal reports suggest that it's working great -- a good sign that we'll see a cooked ROM unveiled just as soon as feverish fingers can package the new code.

Update: Photographic evidence has arrived. Enjoy.

[Thanks, Alex H.]

thats good. glad to see it's getting some attention cause it seems like a great app. im holding my breathe for Google to release it as a normal download for WinMo. would be a great addition to my TP2.

Doesn't work outside the US. Got it on my G1 and messed with it for hours before I found out it's US only!
