Blah! First America, now the United Kingdom; us Canadians always get the Royal Shaft. According to Engadget, Google has decided to turn on turn-by-turn navigation on England’s carriers running Android 1.6 and above. This means that as long as you are operating an Android device with 1.6 or greater, you can open the Maps app and get voice directions streaming out of your speaker.

Whether this is going to come to any other countries is anyone’s guess at this point, but it’s encouraging to know that Google is (slowly) expanding their Android-exclusive features beyond just the United States. It certainly bodes well for the platform’s viability if they’re extending those killer features to everyone.
