iPhone Pedometer/GPS app

Anybody know of an app for the iPhone that is a GPS/pedometer or something like that.   We are off to do some hiking this weekend and I'm curious to see how far we actually walk over the course of the weekend.

I use one for android called runkeeper.  I'm not sure if it's available for iphone as well though.

I use MapMyRun! It's awesome. It will tell you via 3G/GPS how far you're going, you can also set it to tell you the distance/speed/pace however often you want. I highly recommend it!

I use RunKeeper. I have android, but my FI has it on his iPhone. He says you just have to let it run for about 30 seconds before moving so it gets a good lock on your GPS. You can change the activity from running to walking or hiking, etc. and it's FREE!!

I used Map My Run this weekend.  Distance and elevation was accurate I didn't find that the calorie burn was at all accurate.  I know I generally burn about 250 calories on a 5 mile bike ride this had me listed at about 125.  Another comparison point was m FI had a heart rate monitor on that was tracking us as well, distances were the same on the 2 but the calorie burn on his monitor was about 250 just what I would expect.

Yeah, I don't so much use it for my calorie burn. I use it just for distance, time, and route mapping. I trust a HRM for accurate calorie burn! Really, unless it's able to track your HR (which as far as I know iPhones cannot) it will only go based on your speed, and that doesn't mean much in terms of calorie burn since it's so different for each individual.

Glad it worked for distance and elevation for you though Hope your hike was great!
