Apple are unlikely to charge for a feature that has hitherto been free.

I really hope that it's better than Google Maps. I'm not the type to assume that just because something's developed by Apple means it's automatically good or the best stuff out there. Google Maps has been very easy to use and accurate enough to use, as no map out there that I can think of is absolutely accurate.

The thing I'm most disappointed with (not so much with the WiFi model iPads) but with any iOS cellular capable device is the lack of a really high quality navigation app. I know some are loyal to Navigon, MotionXGPS, TeleNav, Garmin, whatever... but I've never found anything that comes close to how good the Google Navigator (default Nav app on Android devices) really is. All the iOS stuff looks cartoonish and it's so much easier to use the Google Nav. Just speak to it, it'll match the destinations and find you addresses easily.
