"GPS" gives you access to your iPhone's GPS functionality and more.
The simple display shows your current:
- Heading (where a compass is available).
- Course
- Speed or Speed Average
- Coordinates
- Altitude
Street and Topographic maps are available along with aerial or satellite photos. Once viewed maps will also be held cached for a day.
And trace statistics including:
- Time and Distance
- Minimum and Maximum Altitude
- Average and Maximum speed.
Via the settings you can:
- Choose between Latitude & Longitude formats and UTM coordinates.
- Choose between meters or feet and formats.
- Choosing Speed or Average Speed.
- Keep your iPhone awake.
- Trace while GPS is in the background.
- Automatically pause when you stop.
- Shutdown when the battery started getting low.

GPS FAQ
Is GPS free?
GPS is not free (it costs 1.99), however it doesn't contain in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is GPS legit?
🤔 The GPS app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
1. It would be better if one could choose the projection (eg UTM), since this could become a useful alternative to buying a standard GPS. It would also enable one to have readings that were compatible with other GPS' working on the same project.
2. It would be nice if one could substitute other maps for the one that is built in.
3. Me McRae acknowledges open-source contributors. It is a shame therefore that he does not have a facility for feedback, which can provide another mode for public contributions.
Too basic to be useful.
No ability to enter & navigate to a co-ordinate? Really? Don't pay for this app. Basic apps are fair enough, but this level of functionality should be free.
Simple, accurate GPS.
This app is great. I use it for my field studies for geology at uni. It works really well. Saves a lot of money over buying a GPS. Ignore reviews saying it doesn't work, those people obviously don't know what a GPS is.
Great App
Really liked your app. Does exactly as expected. I would like to see a box where you could type some notes and another button to save that note with the gps coordinates as a picture. That way you can save location details.
Cheers.
Great app
A simple easy to read and understand app. I travel around by car everyday and I use it as a speedo and it gives me all the basic info I need. The black & white graphics are very easy to see at a glance. Couldn't ask for a more simple GPS than this.
To the guys out there who have complained that they can't find where to input an address so it tells them where to go ! READ THE DETAILS BEFORE YOU DOWN LOAD THE APP TO SAVE YOU THE TROUBLE.
Does what is says
Great - just the simple information I was looking for.
Impressed with the topo maps as well as an extra.
Any chance of getting a "red" display for night vision use?
Very good basic GPS
If you are unable to read, perhaps do not buy this app. It is not a navigation system with turn by turn instructions. Amazing that some fools have complained it doesn't work in their reviews because they cannot find how to get it to tell them where to go... Please learn to read the app description first!
Anyway, for a GPS that gives you your location, speed, course, and allows you to overlay onto free maps - this does the job. Frankly, the speed calculation on an iPhone4 is not good. It worked well in my iPhone3, so hopefully that is a bug to be sorted out. Variance of 15kmh every few seconds when the cruise control is on is not a good sign. Sometimes you will wait 10 minutes for a position fix, but at those times other devices are struggling for a fix, so probably not app based issue.
It would be nice if the developers thought a bit more about what a basic gps user might want and added those features... Not turn by turn, but waypoints and other typical outdoors type use...the things people buy a basic GPS for... Maybe also access to better maps...
For the price - a good app.
rubbish
simply does not work
Horrible
Won't let me type in where to go and is utterly useless
