Google Maps with navigation hacked for HTC G1
While many may argue that Android 2.0 may still not be ready for business, Google’s target of the consumer market has been hot, especially with Google Maps with Navigation packaged into the Motorola Droid’s sleek body. Google’s turn by turn navigation solution, in its original form, has so far been made available for Android 2.0, but it looks like the good folks over at XDA-Developers have spent some time extracting it and making it available for the T-Mobile G1, the first device ever to run Android and a model that has captivated the hearts of geeks with its whimsical chin.

A mere two days after its release, Android 2.0 SDK has already been ripped from the womb and ported over to a T-Mobile G1. Currently in the most crude state possible, the cooked ROM runs as quickly as Babe Ruth did at his heaviest (and drunkest).The mere fact it’s able to run without melting the G1 and its 192MB of RAM, though, should give hope that the fine folks over at XDA-Developers will be able iron out enough wrinkles to make it usable as a daily driver.
