I think that the future spells trouble for dedicated device manufacturers like Garmin. I think that eventually their consumer turn-by-turn devices will go away as location aware Smartphones become more and more sophisticated. I also think that the mapping will become a core part of the device itself (starting to see some of this in the iPhone and G1 where Google Maps is such an integral part). I believe we've only seen the tip of that iceberg.
