I’ve downloaded that on my iPhone and am playing around with it now. Thanks for the pointer, Doug. 

Cheers,
Joanne

As the name implies it uses GPS to determine location, speed, acceleration heading, distance, etc., and it uses your phone's sensors for such things as brightness & colour temperature, elevation, magnetic field, step counter, . . . and it can store locations. You can use it as a level. The compass is very accurate. The app is free and doesn't depend on cell reception.

It works fine in any mode of travel as long as your phone can "see" satellites. Right now inside the house I'm locked onto 15 of 18 visible satellites, with a location error of 6 m.
