Hi all, PebbGPS is now in the App Store!
Built-in battery saving techniques:
Phone GPS shuts off after a few minutes if not using the watchface.
Intelligent background updating to minimise CPU time in the background (iPhone 5 or later)
Put a mini map on your Pebble smartwatch!
Simply install the PebbGPS watchface from within the app. (Requires the Pebble iOS app to already be installed).
Map types: Terrain, Satellite, Hybrid and Streetmap
Control the zoom level from the watch

Turn-by-turn directions: Choose a destination on your phone by dropping a pin or by searching. PebbGPS determines a route to your destination (car or walking) and plots it on the watch map as a thick line.
Turn-by-turn arrows and written directions are a new mode on the watchapp, with distance to next turn (metric and imperial). A "hybrid" map + arrow/distance mode is also available
A toggle allows you to increase the frequency of map updates, which may be better if using PebbGPS in a vehicle, though of course this uses more battery and data.
When moving (at least medium walking pace), the centre dot turns into an arrow to indicate which way you are moving. Please note that this is different to indicating which way you are facing (which will hopefully be implemented in a future version when the Pebble firmware allows access to the magnetometer/compass)
Unfortunately, due to the directions feature, PebbGPS now requires iOS 7.
The watchface built into the app is designed for SDK 1.x, but if you are running beta SDK 2.x firmware, use this watchface: http://noates.com/downloads/PebbGPS_2.0.pbw
