I recently upgraded to the 3Gs and tried to navigate to my first cache with
it. The cache was near my home in an area familiar to me, so getting to it was
no problem. The coords were about 20' off from my Garmin. Not the best way to
cache, but might do in a pinch.

I have been messing around with the iphone app and GCz for many months now.
You can navigate to the cache using theGroundspeak iphone application. It is
not great but it can be done. When the application puts your location and the
cache location on the map you get a straight line to the cache. It is up to
you to pick around on the map to find a way to get there. Not exactly like
the good voice guided turn by turn directions that come out of the GCz
application.
Good navigation on the iphone leaves a lot to be desired.
