Droid navigation has suicidal moments

One of the most impressive features of Motorola's Droid phone is its ability to pull up Street View images for every turn, junction and lane change in the Google Navigation app.

But there's a reason why the Android 2.0-based software sports that all-important 'beta' tag - and it's probably down to things like this: a turn that suggests driving the wrong way up a freeway before veering through a lane of oncoming traffic into a solid concrete underpass.

Keep coding, guys.

Turn left into field. It's a shortcut. Always works with navman.
