MMMMM - Matters!

Until Apple gets busy with their upcoming GPS application, we must look elsewhere. One place to look first is the people that bring you MotionX Poker and MotionX Dice. The programs are wonderful, and they decided to step out of the game/dice area and move towards GPS. Their GPS application, entitiled MotionX GPS Lite, is equally phenominal and happened to make it to the first page of my iPhone.

Game maker MotionX has just released GPS Lite, a free iPhone3G GPS app which provides a number of features normally found on a dedicated handheld GPS device. GPS Lite has five screens: The GPS status screen provides your current position and signal status. A stopwatch screen provides stopwatch features plus speed, distance, average speed, and elevation change.

The navigation screen shows a simulated compass and bearings and headings. A track screen displays your current track, but on a white background, rather than a map. A waypoints screen shows start and stop points and other user - settable waypoints.

GPS Lite takes iPhone3G GPS to a new level, but does not offer turn-by-turn navigation. This is a “Lite” version so I went searching for the paid version and did not find one, so it seems likely a paid version with even more features is on the way. However, I am not quite sure what else they could bring that’ll make it better than a five-star app. We’ll see…

This app is a great app and Apple should think about looking towards them to see exactly how a GPS app is suppose to be. Occasionally, I felt some lag, but and the other day, it crashed on me. A simple restart of the iPhone cleared that up in no time. So, go try out the application; you are bound to love it!

App now available in the App Store
Price: Free

Pros:
Track elapsed time, speed, distance traveled, and average pace.
Provides the user’s current heading and the waypoint bearing; view current speed and ETA, and visualize bearings with a virtual compass. This also is an ideal tool for geocaching enthusiasts.
view the current position, GPS signal strength, and last valid satellite fix.

Cons:
Lags sometimes
No turn-by-turn directions…yet
Sometimes not as accurate, but probably due to low signal.
