UPDATE: This article is dated! There is now Magellan GPS Software for the iPhone and it actually looks pretty good! Finally something good from Magellan, but it’s not GPS hardware.

There’s been a lot of rumors going around that “turn by turn” navigational software will become available for the iPhone very soon – but so far everything is still rumors.

The Dutch company TomTom says they are coming out with turn by turn software for the iPhone but no date or details have been released so far. While TomTom makes great navigational software it’s all wait and see when it comes to TomTom living up to Apple Style and I’d give Garmin a better kick at being able to develop a user interface that still “feels like an iPhone”.

I may be a little bit biased here but what I would really like to see is behemoth Google step up to the plate and develop a navigational system that works with Google Earth. For them to do this they’d have to be making some big changes though and I’m sure they’re much too busy on other projects to be working on a little one like this.

As a consumer all we can do is wait for it. If you ask me – we’ve already been waiting WAY too long!
