It's no good what Apple is doing to the Automotive Navigation Industry. No one really understands what's "behind the curtain", but according to what is stated in the iPhone SDK License Agreement, Section 3.3.7, and I quote:
applications may not be designed or marketed for real time route guidance
What is their intent doing this? Some say they want to prevent "rivals" from doing navigation software, but it's no fun.
I have contacted Apple using their website a long time ago, regarding these issues but they have completely ignored my questions.
Nevertheless, a video from NDrive, an example of a navigation software, running on an iPhone.
It's a shame that NDrive and other navigation software (iGo, TomTom, etc.) are not allowed to provide real-time route guidance for the iPhone, and even worse when we see no official words from Apple regarding this matter or their future plans.

I fully agree it is a waste to have a phone with so many qualities wasted.
