We are entering a golden age of mobile mapping and GPS navigation, and we are working continuously to keep in-car navigation moving forward.”

Good timing.
As it happens I bought the Android version today. I signed in using the old account I had when I used it on Windows Mobile and in addition to the UK maps I purchased today it gave me the EU maps I bought way back then.
It's not often I'm pleasantly surprised like that :o)
Yeah yeah; if I had an iPhone I'd get pleasantly surprised all the time ;op
I have just been pleasantly surprised. I bought the iOS version some time ago and decided to try out the Android version today. I didn't want to pay for the voice navigation but when I logged in it enabled the feature anyway even though it said on the website that licenses were not transferable across platforms. A result.
I've had this for a few years and it has always done a pretty good job.
