Usable mainstream GPS on the iPhone?

Greetings, I will soon acquire an iPhone 4S and had a couple of questions about GPS solutions. 1. Although I know of Sendero Look-Around, I am wondering if there is an app that works with something like Google Maps. It would really be even better if one could get turn-by-turn instructions.

Mike, Personally I think that Navigon s the best. First, it does have the ability to work in Europe, and the U.S. Second, it's reasonably priced anywhere from $30 U.S at the low end, and $50 U.S at the high end. It doesn't use goggle maps, but it does use the navteq mapping solution. As far

Greetings Mike, Motionx GPS Drive uses GoogleMaps, and has a setting where they can be cached on the IOS device. This would minimize data usage, and since you can always go to the cloud to retrieve current maps, they should in theory be always more current. IMHO, from a VoiceOver perspective
