Photos: Sygic Mobile Maps turn-by-turn nav app beats TomTom to iPhone

The first navigation app with turn-by-turn instructions has hit the iPhone's App Store -- and it's not the TomTom app that was revealed to such fanfare at this year's Apple Worldwide Developers Conference.

Called Sygic Mobile Maps Australia, it's available now on the store for AU$80 (£40). A European version, including up to 44 countries, is in the works, as is one for the US, Canada and Mexico. A release date for these versions has yet to be set.

According to Sygic, Mobile Maps for the iPhone features turn-by-turn voice guidance, automatic re-routing and lane guidance, as well as information on speed limits, red lights and speed cameras. Essentially, it's an iPhone-friendly version of the company's Mobile Maps app that's already available on Symbian and Windows Mobile devices.

All the screenshots we've seen so far are in portrait mode, but there's also a landscape mode that activates automatically when you tilt the iPhone.
