I've been trying mapquest and it works great - sometimes. Often it will just stop providing guidance, or not start. Not sure what's up with that. The other annoyance is that you must enter an address. I use a garmin device that let's me use a map scroll to pick the destination, which is real handy when I kinda know where something is but just don't know all the turns to get there. I've not found a way to do that with mapquest. Any suggestions?

I love that it is integrated through your car's head unit though and would like to figure out how to make it work better.

It's a get what you pay for thing. There are several free navigation apps in the app store... None seem to work to great. Just buy tom-tom or navigon....

I have downloaded the Geocaching app onto my Iphone 4g. The "maps" app on Iphone does not give text to speech directions.

Am I to assume I have to download anothe GPS app to get this feature and to have it work with Geocaching app?

Tomtom ownes them all. altho it's expensive...
i have a solution for that: JAILBREAK YOUR iPHONE! I dl'ed tomtom benelux, europe and West europe in one night on my mac and just placed them in iTunes... that's it

20 minutes sync and you're done...

The MapQuest app is great and free. But I agree with palio if you rely on a GPS it's better just to get one. On the other hand if yer just like me and just get lost every once and awhile this one seems to work. In San Antonio, Tx anyway.

Apple Default iPhone Maps is quietly good for me

In Australia, Tom Tom is $89, it is aberrant when Nokia, Gamin phone and other phones have free navigation; I think Tom Tom need to have a good look at themselves.
In OZ, I use Metro view, cost me $24; good value for money and does the job. I would refuse to pay $89 to Tom Tom.
