Claim months ago was Google refused to license turn by turn. Reviews of Andriod 4 devices were extolling that feature. Apple needed it, had to build it. And it's frankly not that bad. I find it better than Google's, but notably worse than Navigon. Suspect most normals will be serendipitously surprised by the driving directions.

In recent weeks, I've seen the further claim Google was willing to license turn by turn but insisting on user location data for Latitude.
