The app "You Need A Map" or any of its three companion mapping programs
Scenic USA East, Scenic USA Central, Scenic USA West. The last three
are huge apps since they contain very minute elevation data along with
the standard mapping details of roads, rivers, cities, etc. You Need A
Map covers the entire USA but doesn't go down to the same level of
terrain detail as the other three programs.
They all can use the iPad's GPS to locate you. Since I don't have the
3G model iPad I haven't investigated how good they are at routing you to
a destination. So don't buy them just on my say-so but do some more
research to see if they will do what you want/need.
I'm not sure why paying $50 for a GPS app that takes the place of a $150
or higher device is such a stumbling block, though.
