Just wait a few months.
I believe iOS6 will have a built in voice navigation.

I use Navigon. I've had it for years. I started out not liking it, but they've really made it great since Garmin bought it. It's pretty pricey, and can take up space on your phone (preloaded maps), but I've used others that only work when your cellular service is good, and I've had that bug out on me too many times. There are also in-app purchases that I just bought yesterday. It really is a great app.
IF YOU GO WITH NAVIGON, THE APP (AND IN-APP OPTIONS) ARE ALL ON SALE FOR A WEEK OR SO, SO NOW'S THE TIME TO GET IT!!!
Waze is a good, free app... gives turn by turn, and community fed traffic/weather. It's what most tech reviewers like most.
Apple is coming up with their own (dropping google maps) that will have turn-by-turn this Fall, with iOS6. So you could use a free one until then and see how Apple's turns out...

I use Navigon on the iPhone with the XM Skydock on the EG & pickup. Works very good, dims music for turn by turn directions and you can install as many states & provinces as you want to keep disk space available.

I use tomtom app in iPhone 4 in a Ram mount and a waterproof case. I can plug into bike stereo or Bluetooth to my helmet for phone calls, tbt and music (I don't use the phone facility). Silences tunes for instructions and then kicks back in.
I use both UK and US apps, prefer it to Garmin due to interface and mapping clarity. Updates included.
Point to note in general: make sure whatever app you choose doesn't rely on data connection to work - many do. Useless when out of signal. You need one where the mapping is stored on the phone.
