Handy GPS is an easy-to-use GPS information app that provides you with your GPS location fast and easy. Youll see at a glance your current Latitude, Longitude, Altitude, and more.
The mini-map rotates according to your course, or in the 3GS or iPhone 4, to your compass.
You also get access to a Reverse Geo-coder, which translates your current location coordinates to an actual address.
Sharing couldnt be easier, you can email your location, along with a map and a link to Google Maps right within app!
Dont want to email? You can Copy your current Latitude/Longitude, a link to Google Maps, or your current address with a tap of your finger!

(iPhone 3G Users: The compass function is based on a GPS compass. This is not the same as a digital compass)

Pros and cons of Handy GPS and Compass app for iPhone and iPad
Handy GPS and Compass app good for
I recently downloaded this app and have been blown away by its accuracy and ease of use. It offers everything you could need in a personal gps/compass and I have taken it with me everytime I have been riding. It is definately a great buy.

opens up quickly like the weather app and the map on the bottom is useful to see whats close to you. i highly recommend it for when you want a quick way to email someone where you are. needs some polishing on the overall look, but everything else works as advertised.
Performs exactly as advertised. Fast, easy to use. Takes a little travel distance on the non-s iPhone to register direction and speed, but overall, a pleasure to use.
A friend told me to download this app to my new 3GS.
I saw the other GPS apps, but found this one better because it provides a clear view of a lot of information, and the geocoder thing is cool.
I highly recommend this app because its easy and fast and its only a buck.
Nice little app. The last update made it work better.
I like having the app open while I drive and see myself move on the minimap and see the zip codes change while I drive around the city.
Nice and Easy all I can say. The slidy thing on the bottom is a little choppy some times on my iPhone 3G, but once you slide to the "slide" you want, its all smooth, including the map rotation, which gives us 3g users a little of the map rotation 3gs users have. Waiting to see if future updates address the choppiness.
Some bad moments
This program is lame and not worth the money. The compass doesnt work and it is slow. It is clearly designed for the new phone and doesnt work well with the 3g
I purchased and installed this ap do not waiste your time with it if this was free I would still rate it as junk
lat and lon pop right up, compass has yet to move or work in any way. whats the trick to get it to work?
This app is one of the worst damn app I have ever payed for as far as I experienced it with my I phone 3g it was bogus dont buy dont recomend it rip off big time it says Im in the same place no matter were I am REAL BAD
This app looked promising, but the actual compass portion doesnt work on a 3G phone. It is probably a great app on 3Gs.
I tried to get the compass , but it never showed up on my iPhone. Please reset it or take it off my bill
