Garmin StreetPilot which was launched earlier this year for $40 ( I think ) has got a price drop and is available for $30 .. $29.99 to be exact. I am sure not many of you needs an intro to the app but for the uninitiated its a GPS navigator app for your phone with turn-by-turn voice directions. So if you folks from US and Canada want to pick this up this might be a good time coz we hear that this is a limited time sale. Here is what the developers have to say about it
Download Garmin StreetPilot® and get Garmin® navigation for the U.S. and Canada, similar to the premium features on Garmin’s renowned nüvi® personal navigators. Designed exclusively for your Windows Phone, this application works on both 3G and EDGE networks and turns your device into a GPS navigator with turn-by-turn voice-prompted directions.
With Garmin StreetPilot®, you’ll always have access to the most up-to-date map data available. And to minimize data usage, maps are downloaded on demand for areas relevant to your route. Garmin StreetPilot® also includes real-time traffic updates at no extra cost. So you’ll know which areas to avoid as you travel.
Garmin StreetPilot® stores map data on your device so you can continue to view route details as you travel in and out of coverage areas. In addition, Garmin StreetPilot® lets you browse maps that have already been downloaded and stored on your device. Instead of downloading additional data for areas outside your travel area, Garmin StreetPilot® only accesses the map data you need to navigate your route.

The second feature is turn-by-turn navigation for Windows 6.x phones, powered by Bing Maps. If you have a Windows phones on Sprint, T-Mobile, or AT&T you can use the voice guided navigation. Now when getting directions with Bing, you’ll see a new “Navigate” button. By selecting it, Bing will calculate your route, and guide you as you drive. You can select the fastest or shortest route, choose to avoid traffic and/or tolls, get a map or a list of directions, and see arrows and hear alerts to know which way to turn next.
Waze is here for Windows Mobile and Symbian users, Waze is the first free turn-by-turn GPS app that uses crowd sourcing to detect real time traffic conditions.
