I should also mention, using it like this will use your data plan, so it can be expensive to use if you're outside Canada.

I haven't had that latency issue using Google Navigator, but you're right, the data use could be an issue if you used it a lot. Navigator uses a perspective view and spoken directions like a car GPS, which is much easier for navigation than a direct overhead map view with no voice. However, I don't think Google has released it for the iPhone; I wonder if they might be using it as a small nudge for people to use Android.
