And, actually, an app than can use the gpx files? I like the look of:

http://b-icycle.com/home.html

and

http://www.everytrail.com/iphone.php#trails

As above, I use MotionX though it's more general than cycle-specific.
Decent maps, but not OS 50k/25k quality.

Recently put Memory-Map on. Paid 12 and a half quid to get a load of OS
exporer Km on it and I believe it does GPX, the web site says is does.

I got the free one as I didn't have any maps already.

http://www.memory-map.co.uk/iphone/

Quite like it.

Ooh, ta - I've got a bunch of Memory Map maps already, and the last
time I checked they didn't have an iPhone app at all.

Thanks - got it installed now. Marked home as a waypoint, and it's
directing me to walk 6000 miles to my current location 2 inches away!
