Professional upgrade available as an in-app purchase allows multiple waypoint lists, import/export to other apps as csv/kml and automatic iCloud sync.
Works on iPad or iPhone (on wifi only iPad models location is not very accurate and requires wifi access point connection to work, please bear that in mind).
I wrote this app to be simple and effective. If you have an iPad and want to know your latitude/longitude, please do give it a try and I hope you like it!

Works for me
Rish-e Sefid
I have compared this with my little Garmin eTrex, downloading the files to Google Earth and Arcview (the Arcview takes a little manipulation in both cases). When there is no cell-phone signal to the iPad, this app still matches the aerial photos better than the Garmin. When there is a cell phone signal, it matches much better. I have not checked elevations. This app is easy to use and it is easy to export the data. Happy camper. Update 2018: Now I feed a better-quality GPS fix to the iToy from a Bad Elf Pro +. It is really easy to generate sample points in GIS, push the to the app from DropBox, and navigate to them in the field. And even easier to record waypoints in the field then send them back to GIS.
Excellent waypoint capture

This app is outstanding at capturing waypoints and sending to a GIS app. It's simple and quick. Its fast because if a one-click operation that doesn't require naming of waypoints but provides oppt to name after saving if you really need. The pro version supports multiple lists a feature missing in other apps. The developer is responsive to design improvements. Am hoping the simplicity that makes the app so productive is maintained.

Awesome app

I was looking for an easy way to mark waypoints using my Garmin Glo gps and send them to my office computer. This is by far the best one I have tried. The app developer is also super helpful. He emailed me back within 24 hours and my issue was resolved within minutes. Thanks Carl!
Needs Imperial Units

I really wouldn't mind this little program if it had different settings for units. Raised in the US I am used to feet not meters, and also the different location settings like I prefer degrees-minutes-seconds. Then I could mark my waypoints and game them. This program also needs many more options like the ability to calculate distances from waypoint A to B, est. time of arrival, current speed, and more. Then it would be awesome.
Fast Working GPS
AntofagastaPhil
It works and it is fast. Last year the gps programs on my iTouch gave my present position in Antofagasta,Chile as some town in Austria. I am glad to say this app hits the nail on the head:Antofagasta,Chile with Lat = -23.67 and Long = - 70.41 And it is fast, I got my location in the blink of an eye.
Pretty Cool

Should be able to drop pins and find waypoints for others and you don't have to necessarily be in that current position. Also, you should be able name your waypoints.

An ok app for tracking way points. Would be better if you could name them and get directions from one to another or even a movement icon.
Great Navigation App
irandolph1
Very fast....easy to use. Would like to see all the enhancements suggested. I would pay for this app when it gets better.
Very responsive developer.

The app as it now stands is a strong 3 stars. I gave 5 because the developer has been nothing but helpful, prompt, and responsive in helping me resolve my small issue. Give us a unit preference, a better icon, a speed display, perhaps the ability to string waypoints together in the kml, and this app is a standalone 5 stars. Well done!
