Hi David, the App on the IPhone you are referring to is it the one they call Maps? Seems its also available on the IPod Touch, but it uses available wi-fi networks to determine your location, so if your not near one ... You can purchase a GPS Receiver (somewhat pricey), and with an accessible app, might be what I'm looking for. I primarily want it so I can do the navigating while my wife does the driving.

You can though turn on location services and when you are moving, plot where you are and also get directions to a place and get a list of things near by. There is an app called around me which is pretty good and you can download it from the ap store.
