Sorry but this is just another one I could not let sit. Here is a quote from Apple's web site regarding the iPhone's GPS capabilities:

"Find your location, get directions, and see traffic — all from your phone. Maps on iPhone 3G combines GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell tower location technology with the Multi-Touch interface to create the best mobile map application ever."

I find this quote worthy of another law suit as the mobile map application is laughable. Yes, you can get your current location, yes you can get directions. However, it does not support voice turn by turn directions. It does not even support auto advancing from one step to the next you have to manually keep advancing it your self  - are you kidding me?

I was purposely postponing buying a standalone GPS navigation device based on the planned iPhone 3G capabilities and based on other GPS navigation application I have seen on other mobile phones - what a disappointment.

Steve, how could you ever let this piece of junk mapping application ever leave your engineering department? You must be getting soft.
