One week after I purchased my iPhone, I sold my TomTom GPS.  There was just no longer a need for it.  With my iPhone, I could readily search for locations, i.e. “home depot, minneapolis, mn” and then see how far they were from my current location.  I pick the location I want and then have it route the directions based on my current location.  As Apple prepares to release iPhone 2.0, it is expected that the GPS function and the Google mapping capabilities will be even better.  Which is kind of scary in a Big Brother type way. Popular Mechanics recently spoke with the president of an unnamed GPS manufacturer, who claimed he was, “scared shitless.”  It will be interesting to watch.
