The built-in Compass.app does exactly that.

Hi Stu

I prefer a free app called ShowLatLong to the compass. It gives your elevation as well.

Use Google Earth, stick a pin in it. I have all my potential viewing sites pinned just in case.

The application 'theodite' is more accurate than the stock standard compass iphone app. It's a good freebie too. Uses the camera to help align things visually with the georeferenced locations
