AndNav in a Nutshell
From AndNavWiki
AndNav1 and AndNav2 are personal navigation software for the Android platform.
AndNav1
The main difference between AndNav1 and AndNav2 is that they are not based on the same map data. AndNav1 is based on Google Maps and had to fight with licensing issues, which are caused by the variety of map providers behind Google Maps. The major drawback is that AndNav1 is not allowed to have real-time turn-by-turn navigation, which is an essential part of a navigation system. AndNav1 is only allowed to provide static navigation, which is based on user input (e.g. start and end points), but not on live GPS data.
AndNav2
This is where AndNav2 comes into play. AndNav2 is based on free map data provided by OpenStreetMap (OSM) so that it can provide real-time audible turn-by-turn route guidance. AndNav2 has unique features, such as Text-2-Speech, an accessibility-study (aka 'Where can I get in 30 minutes') or avoiding customizable areas (e.g. traffic-jams or a broken bridge), TpegML Traffic-Feeds and more. AndNav2 will also contribute back GPS traces to the OSM project, so when you have driven an unknown route, expect it to be up online within a week or even sooner.
AndNav1 and AndNav2 fully interact with all the capabilities provided by the Android platform: Text-2-Speech, accessing your contacts, high-quality graphics and fast internet access, all combined in an easy-to-use interface.
