"Navigation difficult at best in UK"
Version: Google Maps 5.0
Pros
Good map navigation, routes are accurate and clear
Cons
The speech for UK is almost unintelligible. It messes up road designations and pronunciation of place names is wrong. It is also too slow, telling you which exit on a roundabout 200yds after you have left it (map shows accurate position)
Summary
There is an issue for UK users with the way it pronounces road designations as it is confusing and can make it hard to follow if you are driving on your own, eg, going to Leicester it said take the A to 45Leicester instead of take the A45. It also uses street names instead of designation, eg Leicester road instead of A45.

"Good, but still lacks features. Preloaded maps, via..."
Version: Google Maps 4.2
Pros
Simplicity, good map coverage, satellite view, googles resources...
Cons
No preloaded maps!
Summary
I love almost everything about Google maps, but I cant make it my primary navigation software because I cant preload maps. I dont know why this feature is still missing since it is on of the key features all of us need when we travel. I simply dont understand how it can be used. Am I supposed to use my GSM data to load them even when roaming!?
And another thing is it sometimes takes me over some very strange routes, which I cant change and it turn useless. Cant put fastest time, or shortest, avoid this and that... -
