I'm going to be testing these out soon since I just got my first GPS device (w00t), the Spectec 2-in-1 SD/BT (has built in micro SD card reader for maps)--so far I'm very impressed and will have a review up at WMExperts probably next week for those interested...

From what I understand, TomTom & iGuidance are the best, but both have their pros/cons:

TomTom
- True WM program (e.g. not just a port); works well with the WM/incoming calls
- Soft key support
- No street name announcements
- No full screen support
- Maps are good but not as updated as most would like


iGuidance
- Port from the GPS device, so handles WM a little oddly
- No soft key support
- Maps are updated very frequently
- Announces streets by actual name
- Full screen

I think the best program would be to combine them!

For free apps, I think MS Live Search actually trumps Google Maps, which is very surprising. I just get better tracking and listings of nearby places on the former.
