MotionX GPS makes full use of the iPhone's GPS capabilities. This app makes it really easy to make and follow GPS trails. The interface is really easy to learn and use. The app shows GPS signal strength and current location as well as distance and direction to waypoints. There is also a highly accurate compass. This is a really great way to make and follow trails using only your iPhone.

Warning --Sad - 1 star - October 16, 2009
Practially defines the word Kluge...all the charm of Windows 98. Ugly, confusing and stupid user interface. Added bonus is a bad click sound when changing pages. Even the little slogan on the start page is a sad attempt something, I'm not sure what. You have to wonder if these people have ever checked out any other iPhone applications for ideas.
