When it comes to Google, you rarely need to ask what the cost is. Like with so many of their other offerings, this one is also free. Unfortunately also like so many things Google produces, it is currently in beta. It will first appear on Android 2.0 phones, followed later by the iPhone and possibly other hardware. Something tells me that today isn’t a good day to be working at TomTom (or any other GPS maker).
