iPhone application helps you track your car, kids

The official word is the iPhone App Store is launching on July 11, but some of us are hoping Apple will launch it at least a day early in order to give consumers a few days to  preview the 4,000+ widgets expected to be available at launch.

PosiMotion is one of the companies that will be launching a suite of iPhone and iPod Touch applications that revolve around navigation. Its G-Spot application basically turns your iPhone into a GPS by utilizing the iPhone's Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity to track your whereabouts, thus allowing you to share your location with others via email. This application uses a compass to track your latitude and longitude, as well as speed, altitude, date and time of previous locations.

I personally like G-Park, which keeps track of where you parked your car. Once you arrive at your destination, you simply hit the Park Me! button, and let the program keep turn-by-turn directions that'll lead you back to your car when you're ready to leave. Something like this should come in handy when you travel or park in large parking lots.

PosiMotion also plans to launch a social network called G-Life, a mobile GPS network router, and a handful of games such as Solitaire and Backgammon. Both G-Spot and G-Park will be selling for about $1.99.
