While I don't have an answer to this question, I would like to concur with the sentiment in the hopes that this thread would get more attention. I am currently working on developing a location based service application and would like to use Google Maps Navigation as I don't want to get involved in the navigation aspect of development.
Although an API would be ideal, I was thinking one possible way to do this may be through a Content Provider (for example the Contacts database). If Google Maps uses a Content Provider that an application could get permission to access, then maybe the Content Provider can be used to supply a destination address for instance. Just a thought. Maybe someone out there may have some more insight into if or how one can interface with Google Maps Navigation. Thanks.
