$1/month acceptable. Navigon EU @$99 also out of range. Give me a $50 app and $20/year updates.

Roger - skip the map updates, they keep working. Besides, both vendors have recently introduced lifetime map updates for a one time charge...

The app does what it needs to do pretty well.

Aren't we being a bit cheap here? They offer different plans depending on how long you need it. Take for instance the Blackberry. AT&T Navigator, guess what $9.99.

If you think your getting TBT GPS for a flat fee, keep on dreaming. Tomtom as well as Garmin both charge for map updates as well on a yearly basis.

Be realistic guys, seriously.

Sorry but XGPS does turn by turn directions better, and is FREE! Just get your jailbreak on and try it out. It works and it's FREE! How can you beat that? There are no maps fees, or monthly charge, hence the use of the word FREE!

I'm sure some of you are scared to jailbreak, but don't be it can't kill your iPhone.

I just tried it and it's terrible. I tried purchasing 1 minute for $0.99 just to test it out and it took me on some canned route that was nowhere near my current location. At times like these I wish I could give it zero stars in the App Store! What a ripoff. BOOOOO!

Stupid me, I downloaded this crap and THEN realized there was a $10 per month fee! Now I feel like an ass!

@Christopher Parker:

I had it plugged into to an FM tuner/charger, but it kept working when the screen locked.

I dont know why anyone would buy this when you can buy the alternative Xrode G-maps US for $25 one time fee. The current version 1.3 is amazing

How much per month??????!!!

By: Christopher Parker

Christopher Parker — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 22:26:38 +0000

What happens when the iphone goes to sleep? Or will it really drain the battery (Maybe that doesn't matter 'cause you can have it plugged into the car while you are getting your turn by turn?) Would love to hear more about how it actually works.

I would not pay monthly for any GPS service on my iPhone. If that is the only way, then I'd rather just use the standalone TomTom GPS that I have.

Is this is a monthly subscription or a 30 day pass? Both models have their advantages. IMHO, they should offer both to customers and let the market decide. It's likely that people who are traveling are willing to buy the app for 99 cents and $10 for a 1 month pass. Others may want a subscription, but at a lower monthly cost.

GPS is my most missed feature from the awful Samsung Rant that I had on Sprint before getting an iPhone. The Sprint/Telenav navigation is excellent and was included in the monthly plan.

In reply to Benji, "bring their own maps" mean they have to use something other than the google maps api as that isn't licensed for TBT directions. They can be downloaded and stored on the phone or on the go. The key is they come from within the app and therefore the app developer has to sort out licensing.

Does it resume the turn by turn if you have to go check an e-mail?

I'd still buy the TomTom app for $50 from the app store, but I agree that $10 a month is hard to agree to. I'll probably do it anyway instead of dropping $300 on a TomTom or Garmin GPS unit. The convenience of having TBT on your phone and only needing one device is nice.

This just is a Tomtom primer to ready s for the cost of that app. Look for tomtom to be like $29-49 AND $10 a month. Oh well.

to clarify by this app i meant G-Maps by X-Roads which is the link i provided, NOT the app mentioned in this article.

By: Mike

Mike — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 21:05:21 +0000

this has been available for a while now, I have this app and love it, only 2 complaints are that this one has no landscape mode and no voice cues. other than that i have had turn by turn for 2 months or so.

I can't wait until Apple gets more apps through that support push notifications! So far, none of my apps have push notifications enabled

I might pay a couple of dollars for a three or five day pass when I'm out of town, but no way would I pay $10 a month for something I wouldn't use every day. And unless you travel a lot, most people end up driving places they already know.

I might pay 5 dollars a month for turn by turn but not 10

Not sure how someone could have the 'understanding that all apps giving TBT directions would need to bring thier own maps'

Devices offering the Navigator service on any carrier require an internet connection to download maps as you go. Software products like TomTom come with their own maps and only require an internet connection for traffic updates, etc...

Do you have to download maps that work with this? It was my understanding that all apps giving TBT directions would need to bring thier own maps.

9.99 a month? Ripoff.

Boo! TomTom will probably offer one time price for map download and the hardware accessory and I am sure it will be much better than this crappy app.
