After the recent Google announcement for the free Google Maps Navigation for Android, Garmin announced in their latest webcast they will be joining the Android bandwagon in 2010.

There is no additional information, but we expect some detailed announcement in the upcoming months (perhaps at the MWC in February 2010).
