My prediction - Google will implement GPS navigation, but the question is will they upgrade their GUI to take advantage of it. If that is free, then that will pit them head on with Garmin's forthcoming release for the BB and Telenav since they all use Navteq for data.

On the other end RIM and Wayfinder use TeleAtlas for maps (but not POI's).

It can only get better for the consumer, but for now BBMaps is great for the price and so long as the party is in your address book, it's great.
