They didn't say that in the presentation. I guess someone like Sendero could do
this as nobody said Tom Tom will be accessible for us or even work for walking
routes. Whoever takes this one on will also likely have to make Bluetooth
drivers for external GPS receivers since the kind in most phones won't register
movement less than 5 miles an hour. I would believe that as I tried the trial
of Mobile Geo on my Sprint Mogul, and just sitting still the current location
drifted until it became unknown. Even the first fix was off by at least several
blocks.

So they have them.
Do you have a source for such information? I haven't seen anything that
claims Tomtom has exclusive rights to turn-by-turn. Google Maps cannot be used
for turn-by-turn, due to Apple's contract with Google, but there's nothing to
stop other iPhone developers from creating turn-by-turn apps with their own
maps, and nothing that says that Tomtom has any sort of exclusive. Such an
exclusive would be strange, in any event, since the Tomtom app doesn't come
with the phone, but is available for purchase from the iPhone app store.
