not much to go on there. i am holding off on iPhone5 until I can see google maps on the device. If I can't get turn-by-turn directions while I'm driving, then I will not get an iPhone.

The iPhone 5 does have turn by turn navigation.

As does the iPhone 4... It's a feature of iOS 6.

iPhone 4 doesn't have turn by turn, only iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 has that feature

iPhone 4 is missing the 3D flyover, but it most definitely has turn-by-turn.

No. Source: http://www.apple.com/ios/maps/ (also, the iPhone 4 sitting two feet from me).

Maps has had driving directions since 1.0, but only the latest and greatest maps app on the 4S and 5 (and the latest two iPads) do turn by turn.
