Just did another "door to door" trip through 4x states over the weekend....using Google Navigation on the Droid. CT, RI, MA, NH, back to MA..destination was Salem MA...and then in reverse but a different route home by choice.
Was absolutely flawless. We even did a few voluntary changes to the route..and it kept right up with our turns and put us back on the route in a jiffy.

It would work good if I can use a preloaded map and not use any data while traveling? Then if I had to re-route I'd pay for roaming.
Still sounds like a dedicated GPS wouldn't hurt.

They only issue I'm running into is my current location. I'm stationed in Germany and my phone roams when I leave the country, and I plan on doing trips around Europe...which could get expensive with the data.

What file extension do you use when you import from route converter as an email attachment for Navigon Mobile? Am i missing a plug-in?

I add an extra step by creating the route in google maps. But its the same (if not better) to create it directly in route converter.
Once you create the file, you should be able to just email it to yourself. If that's not working, I would just try to save it as all the different navigon mobile options and see which works. It could be a software thing - 4, 5, 6 etc. 5 has just always worked for me, so i haven't tried the others.

I wouldn't subject my 4s to the vibration on my bars. Get a real GPS!
