MotionX GPS ($2.99)
Version 9.2
REVIEW – “The must-have GPS application for the iPhone.”
There are a number of different apps that use the GPS capabilities of the iPhone to keep track and share your location, but few have as many options or is as easy to use as MotionX GPS.
The number of features of this app is simply unbelievable and it is hard to know where to begin. This app allows you to track your location and share it with people via various social networking site with the touch of a button. It will even give you satellite imaging of your location so that you can easily see what is up ahead and where you are going.
You can even see you altitude and latitude and longitude so that if you ever find yourself in trouble this app might just help you get out of it. But it should not be used in place of a real GPS if you are planning on getting lost in the wilderness.
The app even allows you to create a track so that you can plan out your favorite hiking routes or workouts. You can also time the amount of time it takes you to complete your track.
But that is not the limit to how much you can do with this app. You can save up to 303 different waypoints so that you can keep track of the start and end point of your hiking trails, your home, work, and even your favorite restaurants. That way you can let everyone know close you are to arriving.You can even add a picture of the waypoint or yourself at the waypoint to remember and share your journey with friends.
The app even includes a compass so that you can get your bearings no matter where you are. The app even builds iPod tools right in so you don’t even have to exit the app in order to switch songs or start up your music.
As some interesting trivia you can even see how far away you are from different points of interest around the world. The same page also lets you know how far away you are from all of your waypoints so if you are nearby a favorite location you might just decide to stop by.
What is great about this app is that it really seems to have thought of everything you might need for whatever you could be using the app for. If you are hiking or running it allows you to track your current path and save it, so that you can revisit it anytime you want. If you have a lot of tracks that you like, that’s fine because you can save more than 100 tracks with this app.
The inclusion of the compass and the ipod tools just put this GPS as a cut above the others and one that I cannot recommend high enough. This is perhaps one of the most accurate, all-inclusive and most affordable GPS applications for the iPhone.
Plus this app updates regularly and all of the updates are free.
