Orange France has kicked off its GPS navigation solution for Smartphones. My French is pretty lousy (okay, non-existent!), but according to what I'm getting from the Fish, you'll get turn-by-turn directions via map and voice. The in-car GPS receiver comes in two flavors: a 399 euro wired box, or a 499 euro model that uses Bluetooth. Data is received over GPRS and billed to your Orange data plan.
