I’ve been using Motionx GPS Drive. It costs .99 cents. For a 30 day trial. Then If you like it 2.99 for the next 30 days. No commitment. If you don’t travel for 6 months you don’t have to pay a dime. MotionX does a great job and has gotten me into DC, Atlantic city, philidelphia, grand rapids, Cleveland zoo, Pittsburgh and a bunch of places I’m forgetting. I’ll give mapquest a try.

Nokia acquired Navteq the same year for a little over $8B.

I would love a side by side comparison. Does TomTom provide enough value to be worth $99 compared to Mapquest?

I tried it a long time ago and it was useless at the time. I have not revisited it.

I’ll try it over here.

Say, have you tried Waze: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/waze-gps-traffic-social-fun/id323229106?mt=8

This is huge in Israel now!
