12$4 Application that makes good use of the iPhones GPS.

14- Samples at user defined intervals (minimum delta is 10 seconds)
15- Allows you to record multiple "tracks"
16- Provides feedback on altitude, speed and distance travelled
17- integrates with google maps on the iphone to show where you have been
18- outputs tracks to google documents in either kml or gpx formats (that you can load up later using google maps or google earth)
19- records even when screen has been locked (and works while ipod music is playing)
20
21This is not a navigation app per se - it does not allow you to specify co-ordinates, it's more of a static recording and analysis utility (that you would use to measure your running and cycling performance). Still waiting to see a decent geocaching app.

$4 Application that makes good use of the iPhones GPS.

- Samples at user defined intervals (minimum delta is 10 seconds)
- Allows you to record multiple "tracks"
- Provides feedback on altitude, speed and distance travelled
- integrates with google maps on the iphone to show where you have been
- outputs tracks to google documents in either kml or gpx formats (that you can load up later using google maps or google earth)
- records even when screen has been locked (and works while ipod music is playing)

This is not a navigation app per se - it does not allow you to specify co-ordinates, it's more of a static recording and analysis utility (that you would use to measure your running and cycling performance). Still waiting to see a decent geocaching app.
