So does the the "turn by turn" mean we get voice turn by turn it?

Core location has nothing to do with it. What will bring TBT apps is:
1) Apple changing the SDK agreement so it's allowed.
2) Apple supporting subscription payments, so large companies can charge a monthly fee.
Of course, there's already that one TBT app, which has gotten a head start without either change.

Companies such as TomTom already have map licensing so it sound as if it's just a matter of price.
I mean doesn't the "voice for turn by turn" currently not being allowed? So I was wondering when they mentioned the turn by turn if it then allowed the developers to put voice into their apps. I hope so, its one of the iPhones most solicited features.
Does TomTom allow you to choose different tone voices? I heard you can pick a woman or british accented voice, etc...
I hope so and I hope TomTom has an app available soon. It would be cool to be able to pick from a huge list of voices on the iPhone.

I hope not. You don't have to pay monthly to use a TomTom so I hope there'll be at least one or two on the App Store that'll let you buy them outright, just the way you can with any other satnav. Extra maps, updated maps, extra voices etc. would make good use of the in app purchase facility.
Do they own their own maps? (in the US)?
flat rate would be nice but I am expecting an monthly,,,
