Looking for suitable gps app for iPhone

I'm looking for a recommendation for a suitable app for my phone. I'd like a GPS program that points me to how far away a point is and in which direction.


Basically, my Dad, before he died, had a proper GPS and programmed in some of our family relatives for when he was sailing. Now he's passed on I like the idea of where he and some other relatives are buried and I'd like something that, wherever I am, can tell me that, for example, my Dad is X miles away and in which direction.


I'm not looking for a routemaster app or anything more complex.


I can't see anything suitable - is there something out there that can do this?

Check out MotionX-GPS in the app store or at their web site (http://news.motionx.com/category/motionx-gps/).


You can enter waypoints in a number of ways, and once you have saved on, you can use their "search wheel" to follow a track you've recorded, get range and bearing to a waypoint, point to a lat/long coordinate. It takes a bit of time to learn, but it is a pretty cool app.
