We were sort of hoping Google would turn a blind eye to the Android hackers who'd enabled (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/google-maps-navigation-makes-trip-across-the-pond-thanks-to-som/) Google Maps Navigation (http://www.engadget.com/tag/googlemapsnavigation) for use internationally (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/google-maps-navigation-hacked-for-extra-american-use/), but it appears we're just hopelessly optimistic: El Goog's shut Navigation down outside the States. The changes are apparently "anticipated," and the hackers in charge are hard at work getting around it, so there's hope yet -- and at some point Mountain View is going to have to actually launch Navigation abroad for real, so this all just seems a bit petty.
