Apple has done a great job with Siri integration - navigating with your voice is better than Android or Garmin's offerings - and their take on turn by turn navigation with incorporated 3D views really has some nice advantages over their competitors. They've royally messed up the data in some areas, but they've built a compelling platform for the future.
Apple did not invent voice interaction with a navigational device nor did it work any good. Actually voice-based navigation has been around in cars for like...errr...decades.
And you obviously haven't used an Android device, as voice based search and Navigation is there since...errr....years. Just because you don't know how to use it doesn't mean it is not there (I know, it's harder to just press a Microphone button and speak the keywords you are searching for than chatting with Siri. Sorry - though S Voice seems to be on par I found it rather annoying to say "Hello Galaxy. Navigate me to...")
