Does iPhone have free (or even cheap) turn by turn navigation?
- This is pretty much the main reason I prefer Android to iPhone. I know iPhone had some turn by turn navigation apps but they're expensive (anywhere from $50-$100). Of course I could buy a standalone GPS with that kind of money but why do that when android phones get google turn by turn free. Is google turn by turn nav gonna come to the iPhone?

Options.
30 day of live voice guidance $2.99
1 year of live voice guidance $19.99
I personally use TomTom for iPhone (paid $39.99 at the time) which is as good or better than my standalone TomTom (which is very good).Last edited by Entertainment72; 12-15-10 at 01:56 PM.

it's called skobbler.

- avt123O.G.Free is always the better bargain. .99 is dirt cheap though. Google Navigation is extremely good though, I will give it that. Very very accurate. Just makes it even better that it is free and comes stock with the device. I'm sure the iOS alternatives you listed are good as well. Back when I had my 3GS, navigation apps were out but still relatively new and very expensive.12-17-10 12:25 PMLike 0

I'm considering it just because I have an upgrade in January and I wanna try an alternative to android. I might try it for two weeks and if it's not al that I'll return it.12-17-10 12:41 PMLike 0 - If I'm stupid then you're ignorant, calling me stupid doesn't change the fact that the iPhone does offer not just one but quite a few "cheap" navigation alternatives. It seems you were hoping different, had you even googled cheap iPhone navigation apps you would have become well informed but that wasn't your intention to begin with. "This is pretty much the main reason I prefer Android to iPhone" statement sums it up.
You have made most here well aware of your distaste for the iPhone, thats fine, it's your choice, there is nothing wrong with Android, but don't try to sell some ice to an eskimo.12-17-10 02:13 PMLike 0 - avt123O.G.I think you both are taking this out of proportion.
@Entertainment, that quote you just posted does not in ANY way show a distaste towards the iPhone. He is basically saying, "If the iPhone has a free/cheap navigation solution, I will jump ship to the iPhone because that's the main reason I prefer Android". His intentions were not to insult the iPhone, but just finding info from the users about a certain type of app.
@techman, No need to insult him. This is how stupid arguments and flame wars happen. Keep the peace.12-17-10 02:38 PMLike 0 -

"Which they don't? " Are you on some sort of a payroll or do you just do it yourself for fun to spread misinformation?12-17-10 05:10 PMLike 0 - You mean Skobbler US on post #7, I think he missed that.
Received some good reviews as well, 4/5 stars isn't bad.12-17-10 05:16 PMLike 0 -
Mapquest Mobile is free too. I was just looking at it. Anyway, anyone ready to cash out a 100 or 200 bucks for a GPS only device, and then pay another 100 annualy for map updates would be crazy not to think that even a 44 dollar navigation app like Magellan or TomTom (39 bucks) is a steal. And having Motion GPS drive for 99 cents- which turns the iphone4 into something even better than my 300 dollar GPS device I used in the past - less than the price of a cup of coffee - is absolutely a no brainer. I can't think of someone passing that one up and yet would rather buy a pack of cigarettes for 8 dollars.12-17-10 07:24 PMLike 0 - avt123O.G.
