iPhone's GPS has been a hot topic since the phone's launch. The 3G version has a GPS receiver, but until now we could have only used Google Maps with it. This application generates quite a lot of data traffic on one hand and it doesn't support turn by turn navigation on the other (which means that it doesn't talk and won't display the next turn).
Sygic software on iPhone
The 3.0 iPhone software will allow developers to access the GPS module (even though this has been already possible), and Apple finaly opens up AppStore for developers of navigation software. Of course the big companies have been highly anticipating this, this year Sygic has demonstrated its iPhone application at CeBIT.
Nav N Go Ltd. would also like to make us of this possibility and they are working hard on the iPhone version of the well-known iGO. The company (which has started off at the game developer PDAmill) is not only in to creating iGO, but they are entering the gaming market as well, as in the last year it has turned out that iPhone users love to download entertainment apps on their phone. According to our information Tomtom is not sitting in one place either, their software for iPhone has been finished a while ago, but due to the limitations they didn't advertise its existence. According to unofficial sources, navigation software might appear in a month at AppStore, and all companies have to do their best by creating something great or set a price much lower than the rivals'.
