We just came across UpNext NYC (iTunes link), a new mapping application for the iPhone that takes mobile maps to a new level. For now, UpNext NYC is, as the name implies, only available for New York City, but even if you don't live around New York or plan to visit anytime soon, this app is worth the $2.99, simply because it can give you a good idea what mobile maps could look like in the future. UpNext displays a 3D map of the city and allows you to click on any building to see what's in there. In addition, you can search for businesses and restaurants, and get data about public transport as well.
