Title: Best GPS app for iPhone?
Post by: Steinys Revenge on June 28, 2011, 10:03:34 PM

I tried using a friend's GPS app on an iPhone today (don't know what it was called) and it was really slow. I tried it in my truck and it takes about 30 seconds to get oriented/calibrated at different speeds. Needless to say, it didn't work well on 15 second WOT runs.

What iPhone app have you guys been using successfully?

I get an accurate reading but the GPS app takes way too long to register the speed. I'd love to keep it pinned for a "few minutes" but I don't think that's gonna happen.
