NoniGPSPlot is a very good example, but there are many others with various degrees of user friendliness/ease of use and features.

I made a program on my phone that would point in the direction of a waypoint and indicate the distance. A shortcoming of the program is that if you are not moving it cannot determine in which direction you are facing. This is because GPS can only infer direction from position changes. This device includes a digital compass. The device knows how it is oriented and thus can always point you in the direction of your waypoint.
To date the only mobile phone of which I know with the proper hardware for implementing this functionality is the T-Mobile G1.
