Ok, the Geek in me is stepping forward.
For a long time I avoided the iPhone, but when the 3GS hit the market I jumped on board and haven't looked back.
As there are "eleventy-seventy" plus apps out there and finding one that is worth grabbing can be a prick, I thought I see what people are using on their iPhone for travel.
I will kick things off, keeping it simple, App and purpose.
1.Pocket Weather AU - Weather App with tidal info (got it primarily for the tidal info)
2. Oz Weather - Easy App for checking weather (got it before Pocket Weather and still use it most of the time)
3. Metroview Australia - TTS (Text to Speech) navigation application (similar to Tom Tom and Navman but much cheaper and not as 'flashy' interface). Able to enter favorites, address, suburb, re-route ability etc.
4. uTrackMe - GPS location updated to a web server (I use this through ExplorOz)
5. Motion-X GPS - GPS application that can have GPX files upload to it. Also has GPS, Compass, Waypoint and track recorder functions.
6.FuelFinda - find nearby fuel stations by name (Caltex, BP etc)
7. NRMA Assist - Application for requesting NRMA assistace to your location using the GPS.
8. ATM Hunter - Find a nearby ATM by bank type.
I have used every app except for the NRMA Assist app and been very satisfied with all of them.
