Android smartphones are blessed with Google Maps, and we have always said that this mapping system is very good, but now it is time for TomTom to make its debut on handsets by way of integration.

TomTom satellite navigation specialists have announced that they want to establish themselves more in the smartphone market, and step away from providing apps and concentrating more into embed its maps within the company’s Samsung Bada Wave 3 smartphone.

Samsung provides Google Maps on Android devices as said above, but now a new partnership with TomTom will provide stunning and enhanced content, 3D Landmarks and 3D City Maps will makes it way onto the Wave 3 handset, other main features will include live road conditions, traffic incidents, accidents and navigate around traffic jams.

Moving away from apps and embedding its GPS directly into the Android operating system is what we call the embed dream.
