I have a TomTom that I adore! Yes, they are pricey -- but so worth it.
I also have an iPhone. It uses Google Maps, and you can get turn by
turn text instructions (via the web) plus it's so easy to search for
something, touch the phone number and it calls or touch an address and
it routes from where you are at. It just doesn't do the audio
directions like TomTom. I am wondering if the new 3G iPhones will. The
new ones are being released on July 11th -- and start at half of what
mine cost, which is also half of what my TomTom cost.

You can also purchase extra personalities for the TomTom. Like Mr. T
or Dennis Hopper (his is flat creepy at times).

The iPhone is also internet on 24/7. It was fun being in the middle of
nowhere (literally) and getting the lyrics to a song that we didn't
agree on!

I love both the iPhone and TomTom and I won't travel without either.
