I know there has been a thread about GPS apps, but is there one out on the App Store that is like Google Navigation? That worked PERFECT with my Droid Incredible.
Garmin also has in iPhone App.
I prefer my Nuvi though.
The achilles-heal of Google's Nav is that if you lose your data reception... you are SOL. Thats where a standalone unit with preloaded maps i.e. Nuvi or an app like Navigon with preloaded maps has an advantage.
You get what you pay for.
The thing about having navigation on my phone, is I always have it with me. I may not always have a standalone device with me. Having it with me at all times has made my life a bit easier.

But - having the stand-alone device, and a decent nav app gives you the best of both worlds - the stand-alone device can 'stay in the car' for use while on the road... and the app on the phone for times when you're not in the car
And this is good how?
Use a tomtom mount and you've got a GPS (navigon), music player, a place to put the iphone, and its being charged. It's simple grab and go..snaps right in...or out. When not in car, no worries about a gps unit being stolen..its in your pocket.
I think Apps will be good to go on up to 5 devices... don't know about in-app enhancement purchases though.
Just my preference - and how I'm used to rolling... no worries about Nuvi theft - it gets secured when I get out of the car.
