The dominance of Apple's iPhone is largely thanks to its App Store, and some of the most useful third-party applications are fully fledged navigation apps that take advantage of the phone's GPS capabilities.
There is no shortage of GPS-based apps available for the iPhone, including from big brands like TomTom, Navigon and CoPilot Live, as well as lesser known players like Sygic and NDrive.
If you're after a navigation solution for your iPhone either for in the car or for when you're on foot, check out our guide to the best iPhone navigation apps.

Sygic Mobile Maps 2009

ALK Technologies CoPilot Live 8 for iPhone

Navigon MobileNavigator

TomTom Australia
Navigon's MobileNavigator for iPhone lacks any real advanced features and customisation options and doesn’t have text-to-speech, but the general navigational experience is solid — especially on freeways and highways. This app is far from perfect, but it's well designed, attractive and will improve with software updates.
