Google Navigation hacked onto T-Mobile G1 (updated)

It’s always a good sign when a device-specific product release becomes the focal point of the XDA development community: it means you’ve got a winner on your hands. Not that anyone ever doubted the intense demand for Google’s new turn-by-turn Navigation introduced exclusively on Motorola’s DROID. No more. Brave souls have now tweaked the original code to run on the original Android device, the HTC G1 running on T-Mobile. Anecdotal reports suggest that it’s working great — a good sign that we’ll see a cooked ROM unveiled just as soon as feverish fingers can package the new code.

Update: Photographic evidence has arrived. Enjoy.
