Driving around rural Alabama for work, I got misdirected at every destination with Google Maps Navigation, and of course incoming calls made the whole process on my Droid very frustrating while driving. The addresses that Google Maps have for places in the "Places" application are often wrong as well, if the places even still exist, which also became an issue. After a couple months I went back to my 3-year-old Garmin unit and will never bother with the Google nav again.
This was also tried in the early-90s at Delchamps grocery stores in the South. The ceiling of the store was spotted with antennae and each cart had a bulky screen connected to a box underneath. It did the same things (and was also gone in only a few months).
