Google Maps Navigation (Beta) works by communicating through your android powered devices mobile data connection to access routes, traffic, geographical and business information, etc... If you're driving in an area with spotty or no data connectivity, you'll still be able to use Google Maps Navigation (Beta) through the use of pre-fetched map data. Pre-fetched map data for your route is passively downloaded and stored locally on your device, and Google Maps Navigation (Beta) will rely on this data when your device loses its data connection.
