For trail surveys and other GPS recording on Android I've been very
happy with Google's "My Tracks" app:

The original question was about iOS, about which I know nothing.
But on Android, I've been quite well pleased with BackCountry Navigator
PRO GPS. There's a free demo, and the real app is $12 if memory serves.
It offers several decent topo map services, plus more that you pay for.
It runs well without a network connection (it lets you download the base
map in advance), which is perfect for those backcountry trails that lack
cell service.
I do my own maps for it, using Mapnik of course!

possible.
My biggest mapping project to date with it has been
http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4286650 - every step of that trail
is checked against my GPS logs from BackCountry Navigator.
