No Use???????? UHH well try hunting, fishing, sailing, paraglyding, hiking, walking in the woods, cross country skiing, snow mobilling, off roading, 4x4, rat racing, dune buggies and more. Appvee this phone app rivals most GPS units and it is easier to use, has more functionality. and its on a phone. Super cool MotionX guys. I love it. This thing and the other apps on my iphone makes its just like Star Trek's communicator.
this is a sick app.. best for joggers, mountain bikers, like me, who love to keep track of their outdoor sports... and if i go with friends its awesome to put the treck up on Facebook for them to see
This app uses satellites -- not necessary to have cell coverage. It's not for finding a Starbucks --> use MotionX GPS Drive for that sort of thing. I use this app for paragliding X-Country, sailing navigation, wilderness hiking, etc.
Firstly, GPS DOES have global coverage (the G stands for 'Global!'). You will pretty well always get a good signal where you can see open sky.
Secondly, with Google maps you have a problem getting the map if you're away from a GSM/data signal. MotionX can cache open source maps, so you can then use it offline - still good away from data.
I bought this app to use it when I travel internationally. Works fine with cached maps, so I don't need expensive data roaming.
Not exactly true. You need to be inline of a specific number of satellites. In some remote areas you may not be able to be tracked due to lack of satellites in the area.
This was the first app I bought with my 3GS. I love it!!!! It works great for Mtn Biking. It Keeps track of all your routs and times you. The great thing is you can still choose playlists while its running. I'm in Cali and I have not lost GPS signal yet....

In the review at 0:56 He says that there isn't a gps signal in most areas where people enjoy hiking and such..
you get signal from gps anywhere in the world as long as you have open sky.

I have to say, It looks like a good app but do the controls feel a bit outdated?
