gpsPrime

All the power of a handheld GPS device right on your iPhone 3G. With gpsPrime you get access to all your GPS data (location, speed, altitude, etc.), full mapping functionality, waypoints, and more, all in one low priced app.

Want to let a friend know where you are? Send them your current location as a Google Map link. If your friend has an iPhone or other web enabled cell phone, then can use their map to get right to you.

Regularly forget where you parked? No problem... Park your car, drop a Waypoint on your map. Later, use this waypoint to find exactly where you left your car.

Pilot small aircraft? You will appreciate that the gpsPrime detects the increased speed and adjusts the speedometers top speed.

Extensive customization to make it work for you. Want to use gpsPrime on your boat, just set your preferences to Nautical? Traveling, set your units to Metric. Like to use the Dashboard view in your car, customize the appearance to match your car's dashboard lighting color.

Unfortunately, due to creative differences, gpsPrime is no longer available in the store.
Although gpsPrime was the first app of its kind, as time went on, it wasn't the only one.
