AT&T Navigator

AT&T’s turn-by-turn software pipes in audio commands, giving timely traffic updates and turning cues just like a GPS. The best part: Tap the “Traffic Optimized” feature for an alternate route to avoid delays. ($10/month, free to download)

SkyVoyager

More than 300,000 stars and an image database from NASA fill a comprehensive atlas of the night sky that not only shows you everything you can (and can’t) see, but also provides sky charts for 100 years in the past or future. ($15)

Geocaching

This hobby of hunting objects with a GPS used to require large, dedicated devices. No longer. Integrated terrain maps, compass connectivity, and an infinite treasure list are all part of this app’s package. ($10)

    These applications are quite useful for backpackers like me. Personally, the Geocaching app would work best for my GPS needs. Thanks for sharing!!!
