… you can download the AT&T telenav app NOW for your iPhone with turn-by-turn!!! Just did it and it works wonderful and has voice. $9.95 monthly subscription billed on your att wireless bill- the same as it is for all the other phones that already had this available previously with att.

I must say that I used to have an Samsung Instinct and the GPS was very good on that. I now have an iphone, and that is one of the things that has bothered me the most is the lack of turn by turn GPS. Having said that I would not trade the two phones.

These turn by turn applications should be free if the iphone is trying to compete with the other cellular devices that offer it right out of the box!!!!

So, the question is, what happens when you get a phone call? I’m thinking GPS won’t run in the background, so if you are driving and a phone call comes in, you’ll have to reload the GPS app?

I'm still hoping for Garmin. I like their UI more than TomTom. And I know they have to decide whether they want a larger potential customer base, or want to risk cannibalizing their nuviPhone market, but I'd bet on the former. You don't see them holding out on other platforms for fear that they might not sell as many all-in-ones, do you? No, they know the iPhone will make them a butload of money. I really hope they don't go the BlackBerry route and make the maps download-on-demand TeleNav-style. I can totally deal with giving up 1GB of space on my 16GB (cross fingers 32GB this summer?) to have the entire US on my iPhone. And I'd gladly pay $75 or $100 or whatever it costs for the same software on WinMo or WinXP.

…though I realize iPhone has built in gps but maybe Tomtom’s external gps device is better. If it’s better I rather have the choice to choose which I want to use for a particular situation like driving directions.

I had Tomtom on my treo 650 and it was optional to subscribe. You basically got all the maps of the US and if you needed to get downloads of newest maps or features like live traffic update then you subscribed with Tomtom. I opted not to subscribe and was very happy with it thought I did pay $300 for it. It came with an external Bluetooth gps thing. I believe the name was navigator 5.

Heck maybe that model could work on the iPhone now that Bluetooth enabled devices will be allowed to communicate with 3.0

I’ll stick to xGPS for free, thank you.

Thank goddess Apple finally decided to step out of the way on this one. Next is jailbreak.
