Default Gps location software for android

Anyone know of any free software that allows you to enter a destination gps coordinates. The software will then give the direction to that point and distance and log the gps points along the route taken (like a cookie crumb trail). I don't need it to be overlaid on a map but better if it was. I was thinking something like a hiking app would be ideal but I need this to work anywhere in the world without a data connection (therefore no maps or maps stored on the phone).

Hoping to use it when I go on holiday abroad. I would configure all the points of interest from home before I leave and use the software to get to my destination whether I travel by taxi or by other means.

My searching in the market has been unsuccessful so far.

Can't check at the moment, but Ulysse Gizmo may help. It's more a GPS/Compass app, but you can add way points via a map. Possibly you could add way points at home with a connection, then just use the compass offline for navigation to the points?

As I said I can't check, wife's gone out with my phone. Might be worth a look though.

Exactly. Once coordinates have been added. There shouldn't be any need to have a data connection as it will only use gps and compass to navigate to those coordinates. Perfect for when abroad as roaming data charger are a rip off.

google maps 5 can cache data, so you just cache the places you want to go, then you're good. you can also add your own waypoints right?
