I second Mapquest 4 mobile for the iPhone. Yes, it will tie up your phone, you will need to have it plugged in constantly as it's a huge drain and the phone will get HOT as it's constantly processing information.
I like the Garmin series of GPS. Ignore Bluetooth capabilities as the voice commands and phone sync don't work in a car with road noise. Just doesn't. Don't argue.

My wife has this series (the model above this with Bluetooth capabilities. A waste of $). I really like it a lot. Don't bother with the traffic mode, does a lousy job of predicting traffic. However, it is a bit pricey. OTherwise, the 2400 series GPSs look good as well, just not as flashy. Doing some research, looks like this is as simple as it gets!
