Projector headlights shine the way and billet grilles let you arive in style but how's you're navigation?

It would be easy to assume that Ford is the only domestic automaker really making waves with mobile connectivity. What with Sync and AppLink, Ford's staked its claim in the easy-to-use mobile integration arena. GM's ready to address that head-on though, with a newly announced partnership with search mega-giant, Google.

At the beginning of the year, Chevrolet announced development of mobile apps for Google's Android Smartphone operating system to use with the upcoming Volt. It's now been taken one step further by integrating Google's impressive turn-by-turn navigation with OnStar. Hit the jump to learn how it works.

It all seems pretty simple, really. The user launches the Volt app on his or her Android Smartphone, and can search or input an address in the "navigation" tab. The user can then send the destination to their Volt to be guided by OnStar when embarking on their journey.

Another neat feature is that the app will keep track of your Volt, and upon launching, can show where the user is in relation to their Volt. This makes getting lost in giant parking lots a thing of the past. Along with navigation is the afore mentioned charge status and vehicle status updates of the Volt App.
