I use a Garmin Nuvi and I love it. Dave has one too. They're really great. Aside from hardware limitations there should be nothing holding back GPS from being on the iPhone, even if the user has to turn his phone into "Driving Mode," it should be available. There were old murmurings of various GPS navigation companies porting their software over to the iPhone, but that never materialized. Garmin actually released a Nuvifone. http://www.garminasus.com/garminasus/cms/site/home/lang/en/phones @Gary: Agreed. I use a Garmin Nuvi and I love it. Dave has one too. They’re really great.

Ties in with google maps and you can pre-download blocks of google maps so you can run your iPhone GPS in offline mode with no mobile radio signal.

I bought G-Map from the App store. It does a good job with 3-D maps. It only lacks voice which is banned by Apple at this time. Turn by turn GPS is available now on the iPhone.
