The best GPS phone apps


1. On Google Android, Wikitude shows you geo-tagged WIkipedia articles which appear in your camera viewfinder as you scan the horizon.

2. iNap is an iphone app which allows you to have a snooze on the bus then wakes you up when you reach your destination.

3. Sit or Squat - tells you the nearest public loos or urinals. A saviour for the iphone enabled and weak-bladdered.



4. Trapster - see and share police cameras and hiding police cars. On your iphone.



5. GoSkyWatch Planetarium - point the back of your iphone to the night sky, and it'll pinpoint clusters of stars. Like a mini observatory in your hand.

6. Google Earth - includes satellite views of the streets and buildings.

7. Vicinity
- finds local services on your iphone.

8. Weatherbug - tells you the weather where you are (though you could just look out the window).

9. Milebug - Basically a mileometer, beginning wherever you like.
