[Talk-us] Best iOS app for GPS wander, GPX to laptop into OSM?

[Ben Miller]

I like MotionX-GPS for recording tracks. You can easily export and share
them in GPX format via email. It's not free, but for a regular mapper it
would be $2 well spent.

You can also use OSM map tiles in the app, although I'm pretty sure that
it's MotionX's own rendering, and it's not usually very up to date.
