iPhone GPS apps: which one is right for me?

GPS is one of those iPhone features that used to warrant a line as an inclusion in sales brochures, but never much serious consideration. Apple’s initial stance on the technology was that it was fine for location-aware applications, but the only bit of mapping you could do with it was via Google Maps and your 3G or GPRS connection. Functionally speaking, that wasn’t quite good enough to make GPS alone a genuine selling point for the iPhone. In the past few months, with Apple lifting the GPS navigation restriction, we’ve seen a number of GPS clients pop up on the App store. Unlike your average $1.19 App, though, these are neither cheap nor small, and choosing which one to buy isn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision.
