Please answer the questions about build version and network, will save
developers a lot of time !

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.On a desktop, go to http://maps.google.com
2.Click on "Get directions"
3.Type "From" and "To" and press enter.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: Handset should open Google Maps Navigation or Google Maps app.
Actual: Handset opens the route on browser. User can not open Google Maps 
Navigation or Google Maps app.

What version of the android, in Settings -> About phone -> Build number (
ex. FRFxx ) ? If less than FRF50 - see the FAQ.
GINGERBREAD.VJLD1

Is the phone using WiFi or mobile network when problem occurs ? If Wifi,
are you behind a firewall that blocks outgoing connections ?
The problem occurs when handset is connected to both wifi and mobile network.

Can you open "Gmail" application ? Do you see new messages without hitting
'refresh' ?
Yes

Can you open "Talk" application ? Do you see incoming chats ?
Yes for both questions.

Please provide any additional information below.
In my opinion, most of the times users want to open Google Maps Navigation 
application instead of opening the web browser.
