Does it actually tell what streets you have to cross in the walking portion of
the route after you get off the bus, how far away from the destination the bus
drops off, etc? I tried the transit thingy as we have it for here, and it is
only basically good for finding out which bus and what time, but not which
direction to go after you get off the bus, what streets to cross, and how far.

Dunno where you heard that, but they introduced just such a beast from
Tomtom at WWDC.
Apple cannot use Google Maps specifically for turn by turn. Tomtom uses it's
own maps to provide turn-by-turn directions. The Google Maps program that ships
with the iPhone, and which Apple lists on their site as accessible, provides
both public transit and walking directions, according to my brother-in-law. So
that sounds exactly like what I need. Not sure about the rest of you. *grin*
