GPS Games Get a Third Dimension in Ghosts Attack is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
If you are like me, then use of the GPS functionality in your iPhone consists of nothing more than swearing at Google Maps as it sends you lord knows where, when you just wanted to cross the street. There have been a few games that have made use of the feature in interesting ways, but implementing it as a core mechanic has been fairly rare. Well that is about to change if Tarver Games has anything to say about it.
From Chris Cross, the design director originally behind the first console releases of the Medal of Honor franchise, comes Ghosts Attack, a vehicle based combat game that generates the game world from your own surroundings, using GPS data.

iNomad App Review – Useful GPS Navigator For Iphone is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
A new tool designed especially for the iPhone 4, iPhone 3G S and 3G, is the iNomad which is a useful GPS application for a traveler.
It enables a user to draw a route with their fingers and then follow that route on their trip. After the trip, one would be able to view the trip on Google Earth or in an embedded player. In between the journey this software assists the traveler with odometer, speedometer, altimeter, odometer and other some other useful information.
This app provides one with the option of Key-point route planning i.e. key-points can be set by the fingers. While one performs their other activities on the gadget trips can be recorded in the background and all the recordings can be viewed later on the iPhone. All the Maps are of autorotation (map, satellite or hybrid) & finger rotation (in a free and follow mode). It supports Full screen mode and can be used for any type of transport one wants be it foot, car, bike, aircraft, paraglider, aerostat, etc. The measuring systems are in 3 standards imperial, metric, nautical. Its unique feature is that just with the use of two fingers on the voyage screen one can activate the ruler. Further moving of the fingers it’s easy to measure the distance between two points on the journey. People can download the Google Map for offline using them on their iPhones.
iOs4 is the platform that empowers the iNomad with a multitasking support.
It has a very smooth record playback supporting variable playback speed. One can reduce the level of power consumption with disabling the Magnetometer from the settings option.
Though it has so many advantages but it could be improved further with increase in speed, stability, usability & power improvements, because one of its drawbacks is that continued use of the GPS running in the background decreases the battery life.
iNomad is available at the Apple Store at $3.99.

Make Traffic Jams an Interactive Game With Waze is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Price: FREE Score: 8/10 By M. Schusterman
Sometimes combining existing ideas is even more brilliant than coming up with one new idea. Waze, an app designed by Waze Inc., takes three very popular app platforms – games, GPS tracking, and social networking – and morphs them into one incredibly unique free app.
Waze finds your location and allows you to add to the online database as you travel. You can contribute information on current traffic, accidents or police activity. Obviously, this isn’t the only iPhone app out there with these features. But Waze is a little different.
When you download the app and open it for the first time, you set up your account and a short profile and avatar. You can even choose a different little icon to represent your mood, which will be visible by other Wazers on the map and when they search for someone in their area.
Because that’s the other thing about Waze – it’s a community. You can view the map, select a user, view how vary they are from you and “ping” them, or message them in a chat room. (More cautious users can set their profiles to private, as the possible dangerous issues here are obvious.)
Waze makes sitting in traffic a game. Watch your car on the map as a little Pacman icon adding a new road to the Waze interface, all while chowing down some cherries and other items in the road for a few bonus points.
Really getting use out of Waze requires some effort – it’s not really the app for you if you just want something to open and check on the traffic nearby. But if you’re interested in joining and connecting with other users, as well as taking control of the content available by contributing your own, it’s worth taking the time to learn. And hey, the price is right – download this free app and check it out for yourself.
Waze requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
