User-submitted Article One Of The Great Features Of Using An iphone 3g Or An iphone 3gs Is gps Built Into It. driving Directions Can Be Taken From Your Current Location. The Issue With The Built In iphone mapping Software Is That It Doesn't Offer Turn By Turn Driving Directions. You Have To Tap The Next Button To Continue With The Directions. Also, There Is No Voice Guided Directions. A Swedish iphone Developer Has Unlocked A New Possibility For The Iphone. We Can Now Have Turn By Turn gps Directions With Voice Navigation. It Takes A Little Work To Set Up On A Jailbroken Phone. However, I Do Have An Article Under The resources Section That Outlines How To Do This On A Mac.
