3D is awesome, but the better feature is offline maps. Now I can make my older android a dedicated offline GPS unit.

Is navigation available offline, though? They didn't mention it.

From the CNet live blog I saw, they said GPS will work offline. That doesn't confirm that navigation will work, but at least there's that.

GPS already works offline, doesn't it? It just places you on a grid with no tiles.

FWIW, that is currently a Google Labs feature on Android devices and has been available for some time. Perhaps they offer downloading of additional layers, but that wasn't demonstrated.
