Disappointed
Overall this is a great app for what it does. Loads quickly and gives accurate coordinates. I was disappointed to find that you can't put coordinates in, to find things. I geocache, and I'm unable to use this app for what I do.
Great for Hikers
I go hiking by myself quite frequently and I use this app to periodically send my current GPS location via text message to my family so they can stay updated as to where I am and in what direction I'm heading. This app is quick and easy to use and is perfect for this purpose.
Useful App needs more features
Been using this App and it is extremely useful for finding the co-ords of a particular location. Seems very accurate.
I have only given it 4 stars as it could really do with more features. For me the ability to add bookmarks is essential. I locate a position on a map, perhaps something in the hills, but once I close the App there is no way to quickly go back to that location again. Sometimes it can be difficult to find a specific location again.
Also, not that important, but landscape mode for the iPad would be good.
All in all, worth the money, but please add some extra features.

Good Enough
Very good but not perfect. Consistently places my location about 30 feet off from where I really am (not always off in the same compass direction). Good enough for my needs, but might be an issue if you required perfect placement for some reason. Otherwise speed and functionality are fine.
No clickable link
The app works as described, but I had expected that sharing GPS coordinates by text or email would give the recipient a clickable link that would open the Maps app on iPhone or in Safari. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. In the meantime, I found another app that does share clickable links, and that's what I'm using instead of GPS Location.

Great tool
I needed an easy way to record my position while photographing; not with iPhone, but with my analog Mamiya and Rolleiflex. I can take a position and easily read the data in my camera roll as I match locations in my contact sheet shots. Works fantastically.
Awesome
I am a firefighter. Had to land a medical health helicopter for a car wreck. Our $500 GPS would not work. I was able to download the app and load it just before the bird came in. It gave me a very good location that the pilot could understand. This phone and this app saved two lives that day.
GPS Location - For iPad
This has been a favorite app for my iPhone, and now it has been made compatible with iPad. You can find GPS coordinates anywhere with a crosshair on an excellent map, which means that you don't need to be at that location. It's easy to copy coordinates to other mapping apps, email, save your maps (with coordinates) as a photo, etc. If you're on the move, a blue GPS tracks your progress on the map. The iPad display will also rotate if turned upside down.
EXCELLENT App -- Sharp map, fast & accurate!

Great
This app opens quickly, gets the coordinates quickly, and very easily allows you email, text, ect your location. It's very reliable and accurate, I've used many similar apps and this is the best one I've found yet.
Good yet could be so much better
The GPS coordinate functions are great. Here is how it could be better.
1. Add the ability to email or text direct from the app to capture that information.
2. Include the address data beside the much needed coordinates.
We're that done this would be a 5 star app for sure. As for now its a 3 in my book.
