My old droid offered turn by turn directions just like a GPS nav system. I can't find that feature on the 4s, does it exist?

Question

It seems that the 4s does not offer GPS style navigation with turn by turn directions and alerts when approaching waypoints. Am I missing something or is this a case of needing to purchase a separate app? If the latter is the case, that becomes a strike for this phone (so far the only thing I can say is lacking)

You can get this functionallity with the Maps app but it
is pretty basic and requires an internet connection,
pretty much what the NAV option on Google Maps
on Androids does.  And like on the Android, it doesn't
automatically recalculate the route.
There are several different apps available at the app
store with a very wide range of price.  Some rely on
an internet connection at all times for maps, some do initial
route downloads but require internet if a detour is encountered,
and others download complete maps.
Personally I have downloaded the Garmin USA system
and it works quite well and is pretty much the same experience
as using a dedicated Garmin GPS.
There is a catagory Navigation in the app store.  Browse to your
hearts content.
