Hi. Can anyone tell me some good GPS apps for the iPhone 4S? It doesn't matter if they're free or cost. I just need a really good one. Thanks.

The MotionX GPS and MotionX GPS Drive are the 2 I use the most.

What is your location?
I like the Motion apps too.

I ended up getting the tom tom app when it went on sale.
App Store - TomTom U.S. & Canada
I like it as it has lane assist, smart announcing, and an upgrade for traffic.

I know I've seen Europeans say there are better programs for them vs the American programs that I have used/recommended.

MotionX GPS drive does have turn by turn but it is a $9.99/year add on. It is one of the reasons I went with the more expensive Tom Tom. As I said I got it on sale for $40 - so that is why I went with it. Also you can use Appshopper to monitor prices of apps.

There is a iphone and ipad app which will notify you when an app changes (has an update, price increase, price decrease)

Keep in mind, there are 2 Motion X apps.

MotionX GPS - this one is not meant for turn-by-turn, but for simple GPS uses - I use it geocaching.

MotionX GPS Drive - separate app. Turn by turn directions. you still get all the functionality of turn by turn for free, you only pay for the voice part. I dont use the voice part, so it doesnt matter how much it costs.
