For iPhone, I use "Ham Square".  It is one screen listing your Lat/Lon, 
Accuracy in meters, Speed (m/s), Course (degrees) and grid square.  You 
must press the "refresh" button to get your next reading after moving.  It 
does nothing else - very simple - works great in all two grid-squares where 
I have tested it (driving up the 101 from DM04 to CM94).
