Default GPS on your iPhone

TomTom price drop from $99 to $49 I think it's now for the holiday. Is it now worth the new price?

Google nav isn't on the iPhone yet.

If you want free turn-by-turn try Waze. It's not the most reliable thing in the world but it's free. Otherwise for occasional use MotionX Drive is pretty decent.

Btw the price drop on the TomTom app is because the $50 version only has US maps, the more expensive one has all of North America.

Grey area. Like a car, the iPhone is your personal possession. What you do with it is your business and your right as an owner.

There is absolutely no illegalities to running Redsn0w because 99% of what you can do is completely legal (run multiple apps, change look / feel, etc). The cracked app part is illegal.

Just don't link anything directly.
