If you live in the UK or Ireland and have an Android phone, then you are in luck.
Good old Google have given us the free navigation around the UK and Ireland, and I can confirm this is working on the X10
According to GSMArena, it is due to a legal battle in europe that the navigation was delayed. But now the UK and Ireland are the first European countries to get this freed up. They also advise that you will have to reboot your phone in order to unlock this glorious treat.

I can confirm that Navigation is working on my two-week old HTC Desire, T-Mobile UK, and surprisingly I didn’t need a reboot.
I can also confirm that Navigation is working on my HTC Magic (Vodafone) Rooted without rebooting.
Just tried it, worked really well
May i also state that ireland has it also, it annoys me that this wasn’t covered, we are a separate country from Britain so why did we not get coverage… disappointing all
I apologise for missing that and will amend now.
I did think Northern Ireland was covered in the UK though
The north is a tiny part of the island of ireland and is apart of the united kingdom, the rest of ireland (the republic) is completely separate. Sorry to come across all brave heart, its just irish men an women fought and died for their independence. thanks for understanding, it means a lot.
Its working fine on my Google Nexus One (well, it should, shouldn’t it? ). No reboot required, it just works.
I took it for a walk this afternoon, although it only had Driving instructions it was accurate enough to walk by – if not opting for a much longer route to where I was trying to get. But then it is complying with one way streets and No Entry roads. Very nice vocal instructions, clear and concise. I would like the choice of other voices – I might not like to be told where to go by another man
