There's a GPS app I use on my iPhone that I think is great and worth sharing here. It's called Waze and it's free. They recently got bought out by google so they'll hopefully get even better.
Two cool features I wanted to note here:
1. Police notifications - As you're driving you get notification en route of upcoming reported police locations. You can also report a cop through the app as you're driving. It gets uploaded to their server and everyone's map is updated.
2. Friends can track your progress - There's a cool feature where you can text a link to a friend. They open it on their smartphone to a web page that shows your real time position on a map, your destination and ETA. Very handy. You can also post it on your Facebook wall and anyone can track your progress.
Try out the app. It's awesome.
