Almost a week has passed since the release of the iPhone 3.0 software, allowing developers to use turn-by-turn navigation. Since then, a few of such apps have been released:
- Gokivo + Yahoo! Local Search
- MobileNavigator Europe
- Mobile Maps Australia & New Zealand – Turn-by-Turn Voice Guided GPS Navigation
- Mobile Maps Asia – South-East – Turn-by-Turn Voice Guided GPS Navigation
- AT&T Navigator: monthly fee on AT&T bill
Until now, TomTom has not yet been released, but it should be coming soon. However, we already have made an overview of the Navigation marke until now:
Rankings per country of turn-by-turn navigation apps (Navigation category)
It is striking to see that in the United States there is a lot of competition by Gokivo, MobileNavigator Europe and AT&T Navigator (while MobileNavigator doesn’t even support US maps), where in the rest of the world competition is almost absent. This will change soon however; we will keep you posted.
