Mark, I've used the Maps app and Navigon MobileNavigator (for several areas such as North America), which is one of the turn-by-turn GPS solutions. It is not a Mobile Geo or a Way FInder solution, but it is the most accessible solution for under $100 for the iPhone. Note this is not going to work out-of-the-box for the iPod Touch yet. It is possible, but that is another discussion. So, will other options become available? Well one can hope and since accessibility of the iPhone is still new, who knows what could come in the future.
