GPS question

I have an Iphone and have used the topo app called "Phil Endicott" top maps. I have used this app for about 4 years. It does not need any data so it works perfect in remote areas. It locates you with a blue dot and the dot will follow you at walking speed. It has a feature that brings up distance rings and you can use the pointer to find out distance and bearing to a point you pick out on the maps.

All of my buddies that have other phones envy this app. I don't know if it is available for other smart phones.
