Garmin has added some new concepts to the standard navigation apps already present on the iPhone, the StreetPilot onDemand, which is designed for the urban user, with provided routing that includes public transportation and wraps bus and train schedules into the usual GPS features. This is a full navigation app with offline maps that you can buy for just 99 cents (the first time) and the nly catch is that it can be used with its full features for only 30 days.
