Certainly a candidate for ‘killer app’ status is G-Map US East from XROAD, billed as the first onboard GPS navigation app available for iPhone and iPod Touch. True to that description, it’s a full-featured navigation aid that takes full advantage of the iPhone’s A-GPS (the Touch has no GPS support but more on that later). In fact, it’s so full of features that it could almost (but alas not quite) take the place of the default Maps app. Here’s a basic example using my trip to a friend’s house across town.

As someone who has been waiting since the launch of the iPhone for turn by turn Navigation support, I was extremely excited to have a look at G-Map for the iPhone. I recently took a road trip from Southern California all the way up to Seattle Washington with many stops in unfamiliar places along the way, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to put the app through its paces. If I had to sum up my thoughts of this app into one word: Potential.
