Yup it's a smartphone. Haven't had the opportunity to test one as yet but hope to rectify that soon.

Well - I came across this - not yet available though:

With Google Maps, G1 users can view maps and satellite imagery, as well as find local business and get driving directions, all from the phone’s touchscreen interface. "The T-Mobile G1 also includes Google Maps Street View, allowing customers to explore cities at street-level virtually while on the go. Without taking a step, customers can tour a far-away place as if they were there - standing on the street corner. Even better, the Google Maps feature syncs with the built-in compass on the phone - an industry first - to allow users to view locations and navigate 360 degrees by simply moving the phone with their hand. Google Maps Street View is available today in many U.S. locations and soon in European countries," states T-Mobile.

Ah yes but Google Maps isn't a navigation app per se. i.e. it will calculate a route between points but won't guide you as you drive with turn instructions and voice.

Yes but I think I read somewhere else that there was an "app" to get the turn by turn , is that the same thing ... ?
