Besides, didn't TomTom already announce "real-time route guidance" navigation software for the iPhone 3G?]]>Jun 11th 2008 11:56AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/06/11/iphone-sdk-agreement-forbids-real-time-route-guidance-dancing/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/06/11/iphone-sdk-agreement-forbids-real-time-route-guidance-dancing/Jun 11th 2008 1:05PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/06/11/iphone-sdk-agreement-forbids-real-time-route-guidance-dancing/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/06/11/iphone-sdk-agreement-forbids-real-time-route-guidance-dancing/Jun 11th 2008 1:42PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/06/11/iphone-sdk-agreement-forbids-real-time-route-guidance-dancing/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/06/11/iphone-sdk-agreement-forbids-real-time-route-guidance-dancing/
If software developers could use Google Map data in their GPS programs, there would be no reason to buy a license for the map data from Navteq and TeleAtlas, which are the companies that license the map data (with restrictions) to Google in the first place. If software providers could use that map data without a license in their own navigation programs, Navteq and TeleAtlas wouldn't remain in business for very long.

My take is that any developer can write their own GPS application for the iPhone 3G if and only if they license (and include) the map data from Navteq or TeleAtlas. That's what TomTom does to provide their software. I think Apple would provide a waiver in that instance.]]>Jun 12th 2008 1:26AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/06/11/iphone-sdk-agreement-forbids-real-time-route-guidance-dancing/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/06/11/iphone-sdk-agreement-forbids-real-time-route-guidance-dancing/http://twurl.cc/202]]>Jun 23rd 2008 2:04PM
