Perhaps I am missing the easy solution, but...

Hey guys,
I have searched the forum, searched google, and searched the apple website.

I can literally not figure out how to do turn-by-turn navigation with google maps.

I came from Droid, and I would simply google a destination, then use the map to get there using turn by turn. Does the iPhone not have the same set up?

I tried it out today, and I got "turn by turn" but it was like using mapquest, where it had the directions listed, and didn't show me driving on the road or anything.

I feel really dumb, as this is probably a very basic feature, but I thought I would ask.

Thanks,
Ron

It's not. You're not missing anything.

You need to go to the app-store and buy something. There are many options. I don't own any so I can't suggest one. Others will probably chime in soon.

It's pretty expensive, but I personally love Navigon. Money well spent IMO

I second the recommendation for Navigon.

Get waze in the app store. It's free and uses google maps and gives 3d turn by turn.
