The two docking accessories for the Motorola Droid, the Car Dock and the Multimedia Station run $3o each. A quick reminder of what the docks are about:
Driving Directions
One of the most interesting new features is a beta version of the Google Maps Navigation application which will be preloaded on the device. The Maps navigation app will let users route directions and view them in 3D, and will also offer voice and turn-by-turn directions. The phone holder dock is specifically meant to be used with the Google Map Navigation feature and will provide an experience very close to stand alone GPS solutions. It holds the Droid and has a magnetic to put the Droid into car mode which replaces the home screen with a larger icon more diver friendly interface including voice dial, voice search and of course quick access to navigation.
Get where you need to go with Google Maps Navigation (Beta): DROID is the first device with Google Maps Navigation, providing turn-by-turn voice guidance as a free feature of Google Maps. It’s powered by Google and connected to the Internet. Use voice shortcuts and simply say “Navigate to [your destination],” and you’ll be on your way. See live traffic, use Street View or satellite imagery to view your route, and get access to the most recent maps and business information from Google Maps without ever needing to update your device. Engadget has a whole series of screenshots available detailing some of the awesome features of Google’s beta nav app.
