Your iPhone contains a very powerful GPS receiver. While built-in applications like Google Maps provide great ways to make use of your GPS, they hardly represent everything your phone is capable of. GPSpy unlocks your phone’s extra capabilities and lets you see all the data provided by your GPS.

I recommend watching this video in High-Quality.

With GPSpy you can:

1. See your current longitude and latitude with estimated accuracy
   

2. See your current altitude and accuracy
   

3. See your current speed and course
   

4. Bookmark any location
   

5. View existing bookmarks
   

6. Email your bookmarks for viewing outside your iPhone
   

With this data, your phone becomes a very powerful GPS device. You can now use your phone for GeoCaching, mapping, hiking, orienteering, and any other activity that requires full location information.

Battery Beware

The GPS in your phone uses a lot of additional power. To help manage this, GPSpy lets you decide how much accuracy you want the GPS to deliver (more accuracy requires more power) and how often you want it to update your location (frequent updates also require more power).

This lets you decide if you require maximum accuracy at the cost of power consumption, or longer battery life at the expense of GPS accuracy.
