One more big thumbs up for the Gaia GPS app.
Personally, I love the strong opinion that anyone going in to the back country who carries a smart phone should have a good GPS app and know how to use it.
Gaia has a variety of different map layers, which you download ahead of time when you have Wi-Fi or cell signal.
Your phone can use the GPS when it is out of cell phone coverage.
As of April 2015, the new iPhone operating system allows you to use your GPS while you are in airplane mode, which is a big help with saving your battery.
Yes, the app does cost $20, which is a lot for an app.
But, it turns your smart phone into a $600 GPS receiver, which more than makes up for it.
And, as mentioned above, the usual caveats apply: Smart phones do suck your battery, and generally have a less expensive GPS chip and antenna.
It's generally not a good idea to plan on recording a track for the entire day on your phone unless you have a serious external battery.
However, if you plan on using your phone as a back up to your map and compass, as in "Whoops, I got a little lost, I need to find my point location with my phone," having this app could seriously save your butt.
Here is a nice tutorial video on how to use GPS:
