If you sign up with RideWithGPS.com, they have an app. It works for what you want. And in my case, I don't have a mobile data plan, so I just use the gps with the app to track my ride and look at it afterwards. But if you do have mobile data, which most folks do, you can look at the map in real time. I would also download GPS CoPilot which allows you to download a map to your phone of the entire US or regions. This allows me to see where I am on the map without having mobile data, just with my gps turned on. I'm really not into looking at electronics while riding. I use RideWithGPS to track my ride for upload later, and GPS Copilot to pull out if I get lost and need to look at the map.
