-see attached screenshots for the navigation for iOS Google maps

Thanks! For the second screenshot (the map itself with the route highlighted), do you have the ability to zoom in to see more detail, as needed, as you traverse the route?

Yes you have the ability to zoom in/out to see more detail while you are following the route.

Are you certain about the 1 Exchange account? I currently have 3 Exchange accounts set up and they all seem to push fine....

I Google'd "iPhone Profile Manager" and found a number of hits:

• Auto Profiles Manager (ModMyi.com | Auto Profiles Manager)
• SBSchedule (SBSchedule – Your ultimate SBSettings Profile manager | iPhone News, Apps, BigBoss, Guides & Jailbreaking)
• Auto Profiles manager (Download New Auto Profiles Manager 4 4.3.1.0 for iPhone | We provide you with Free Fun related to Android, iPhone, Blackberry, Cydia, Windows Phone, Symbians and MANY MORE)

Anyone have experience with any of these?

all of those apps only work if the iPhone is jailbroken ( the equivalent of "rooting" an Android phone). it is not hard to do, but you just need to be comfortable with modding your phone.

once you jailbreak your phone, the opportunities really open up with how you can customize your phone

D'oh! Rats! That makes it sound doubtful (again) that the authors of PhoneWeaver will be able to produce a version for un-rooted iPhones.

I did, on Friday; hoping to hear from them soon. The last comment they made about it, in public forum, was about a year ago--when they mentioned how difficult it was to access certain features in iOS. At that time, they indicated they were making *some* progress but said they would likely be stymied until a more open version of the platform was released. I'm hoping iOS 5 (with it's more Android-like notification system) is it.

that'd make perfect sense. I guarantee you of they jailbroken the phone they could access those features. maybe they will make their app only downloadable from their website, because I know for sure Apple doesn't allow apps on the AppStore that require jailbreak

Call it wishful thinking but I'm hoping Apple opened up iOS 5 enough to allow these kind of applications without having to jailbreak.
