New, Pay-as-You Go iPhone Turn-by-turn App
The app, by respected NIM, is called Gokivo and was announced on Wednesday (press release, which notes required subscription). It's got a one star (lowest) rating at the AppStore and some suggest it is misleading consumers with a $1 fee, but then an add-on charge for one minute, ten minutes or a month's worth of navigating. On top of that, at least one user found the directions wanting.
Also interesting:
- Apple is featuring the app on the front page of the App Store.
- It uses Yahoo! Local.

TomTom to Team with Apple; Stock Jumps 17%
After some tough months I'm sure the folks at TomTom were pleased with the market response to the announcement made yesterday at Apple World Wide Developer Conference. For now, TomTom is the only nav developer to partner with Apple. The first app, and a car kit for the iPhone, is slated for release this summer, when further details and pricing will be shared. One analyst suggested a $50 price point, about the same level as TomTom's introductory hardware offering, though this is far above the price of most apps in the AppStore.

Intermap Brings Terrain Data to the Masses on the iPhone
Monday, Intermap will announce its AccuTerra applications for the iPhone. The company is well known in the geospatial industry as the source of NextMap Britain and NextMap USA, two nationwide detailed topographic datasets collected using synthetic aperture radar (corrected per comment - originally said LiDAR). Aerial imagery is collected at the same time. Most of that data has been sold (on spec or later) to national mapping agencies and defense interests, though some has made it into car navigation use and higher-end ruggedized GPS units for backcountry enthusiasts.
