The GPS software for real time navigation with voice directions is not bundled with the new iphone 3G  by apple. You have to shell $100-$130 to buy additional software to explore the A-GPS features of iphone 3G. This might be a little disappointment for people who were expecting the GPS functionality on iphone out of the box.

Top GPS maker TomTom is almost ready with a GPS software developed specifically for 3G iphone.

“Our navigation system runs on the iPhone already,” the TomTom spokesman said after Apple announced a new version of the iPhone that will include global positioning (GPS) capability.”

You can still use the basic map functionality with free google maps to locate yourself and get the basic features of a gps.
