I don't think the mobile version of Bing has street view, but the desktop version does (called Bing Virtual Earth or something like that). So like I said, they could easily trump google nav, just as their bing mobile app already trumps google maps.
And by the way- google does not own all of that data either. They license a good portion of it themselves. I livein Utah and a few years back they changed a bunch of freeway exit numbers and they were talking on the news how Goole had no control over the wrong directions they were giving out because they licensed their data (for that area at least) from some other company.
Not saying google nav is going to suck, just putting some reality to your claim that it will put everyone else out of business.
