As someone who does a lot of driving in central London, up and down the country, abroad, and has been using Google Maps Navigation from day one, I agree with @Velocio, nothing comes close.
Any time a sat nav manufacturer comes up with a new bit of tech or a new function, Google replicates it and adds it to Google Maps Navigation so quickly. It's so impressive that I'm surprised more people don't use it. I use it all the time, and I've used it all over Europe and the USA too.
It recently saved me about 3 hours when Calais was shut due to strike action, and everyone was trying to get to Dunkirk instead. Google Maps took me on a back route that I was sure was wrong because I didn't see another car for over 30 mins, it felt like it was leading me into the sea, then we popped out at the entrance to the port, and jumped the entire queue of traffic which stretched from Dunkirk to Calais.
