In these situations, where you need hands free and really shouldn't be typing away on a navigator's screen entering directions as you drive - which many people do, then yes, I can see a use in this instance. Apart from that, not sure, but it's interesting how deeply engrained it is into the system.
Hey Chris,

Did the update last night.

I tried to use the turn by turn navigation today, and I didn't work on my iPad 2 or iPhone 4S. Which was frustrating to say the least. Now I read that it is availiable in october on the link below, which brings the question on why yours works. Do you have a ios6 beta that has the option of turn by turn?
