In a personal-navigation market that's seeing increased competition, Google on Wednesday rolled out a free navigation system for Android-based smartphones. Google Maps Navigation is the next step in Google Maps for mobile.
With Google Maps Navigation, Google is competing with GPS navigation devices from the likes of TomTom and Garmin, as well as navigation platforms developed by wireless carriers like AT&T, Verizon and Sprint Nextel. The first smartphone with the new service will be the Motorola Droid from Verizon Wireless.

On a recent holiday morning, I waited nervously in a pack of cyclists at a shopping mall parking lot outside Frankfurt, Germany, suited up in helmet and Lycra and waiting for the starting gun. I didn't have a prayer of winning the bicycle race, an amateur "everyman" competition staged in conjunction with a pro event on the same day.
