Finding your way with your iPhone just got better: TomTom has launched its GPS navigation app for the iPhone today.
The app costs $100, so it's not a capricious download, but it is from a respected name in GPS devices, TomTom, and features turn-by-turn directions.
It's probably a boon for those in the market for a dashboard GPS device for their car, since the price is pretty comparable to a separate device (sans a dock or charger, of course).

I'm all for GPS devices, but I just love the idea of using navigation services on your cell phone, so you don't get stuck carrying around another device. Already compatible with the T-Mobile G1, various BlackBerry phones and the iPhone, the TeleNav GPS Navigator app will soon be available to use on the MyTouch 3G smartphone.
Starting tomorrow, customers will be able to test drive the TeleNav navigation app free for 30 days and then it will be $10 after that.

This year during the WWDC keynote, I particularly got excited when navigation applications were announced — I'm not the best with directions. Well, AT&T has just released their TeleNav Navigation Application for the iPhone, which is a free app to download, but it is rumored to cost $10 for monthly service. Now, I really enjoyed the TeleNav Navigator on my BlackBerry when I took it for a test drive, and monthly service on that is about $10 as well.

Since TomTom is probably the most recognized navigational system on the market, it's only natural that it would find its way to the smartest phone on the market. With turn by turn directions, exact drive times, and road conditions, as well as maps to show you where the nearest gas station is, you'll never get lost again with TomTom riding along on your iPhone.
Plus, TomTom is making it easy to use in the car with a kit that includes a dash holder, loudspeaker, and charger.

I spent some time exploring unfamiliar territory over the weekend and charted out my adventures and directions with Google Maps in advance. Blame it on the Henny the night before, or my inability to chat with my copilot and drive, but I got lost. As we sat at the side of a sketchy road, frustrated and ready for a Garden Burger, I thanked my lucky stars for my iPhone.

Well here's a bummer use for GPS: NFL Player Michael Strahan installed a GPS device in girlfriend Nicole Murphy's car, which then text-messaged him her location. Seem a little controlling? Apparently he had reason to be suspicious, because she was cheating on him.
