Recently, I've been using Runmeter (or Cyclemeter, I'm sure they're the same) iPhone App for all GPS tracking duties when running or out on the bike: http://www.abvio.com/runmeter/
Example of GPS output of rather leisurely "Riding Miss Daisy" type of ride round Cannock Chase:

My only gripe is that this App savages the battery; make sure you have a car charger for the drive home. Abvio recommend the use of one those extra battery packs; it's easy to see why. I reckon it'd last about 3 hours...BUT: if it's your phone too, you don't want it running out of juice half way round.
Good Skills, Abvio
Also, I can recommend the Nike+ GPS App too, I prefer that for running with as it has a great looking output when you've finished, showing your fast and slow points on the map route by using gradient colours for each...Battery issue doesn't really apply here as I can't run for more than 2 or 3 minutes ;-)
Good Skills, Nike.
