An app that performs both search and find, Poynt combines search capabilities with GPS directions in any of five categories: Businesses, People, Movie Tickets, Restaurants, and Gas Stations. By searching multiple sources, providing results with a map view and a helpful pointer that utilizes an iPhone 4 or iPad’s built-in compass, Poynt can help you find a theater/restaurant/gas station, and then points out the way to it!

One year ago today Navigon’s Mobile Navigator debuted on the App Store. It’s arguably the best turn by turn guidance app available and the one that I consistently recommend. And it’s even easier to recommend it when they do something awesome like slash their prices by half across the board. That’s right, you can get any of Navigon’s Mobile Navigator apps or add-ins half off until August 15th.

Today, Google released their free GPS guidance app for Android 2.0, called Navigation. But rumor, or CNET, has it that the app will make its way to iPhone at some point in the future.

Sygic is a company that makes its GPS software available on numerous mobile platforms. The latest of which is the iPhone. So you can look at this from two perspectives. The first is that it’s awesome that Sygic has refined and perfected their GPS software for 7 full numbered versions across numerous platforms. So, they should know what they are doing right? Or, you can wince at the idea of a straight port from one their base software to the iPhone OS. I take the second perspective.
