If you’re not in the United States and were dying to try out Google Maps Navigation on a capable phone, you were probably happy to hear that a group of hackers were able to get around Google‘s block.

However, today it was announced that Google has blocked the workaround and the service no longer works internationally. Luckily, the group behind the original hack apparantly anticipated this block and are currently working on another workaround.

This means you international Android users can expect unofficial Google Maps Navigation goodness in the near future.
