It'll also run in the background while you're doing other stuff such as taking a phone call. Does eat the battery though, so take a spare on a long hike. @Kirk, Yep – mytracks will record the track data locally without needing data.

He carries both the G1 & iPhone but rarely uses the G1 since the Google paid T-Mobile service ran out. Also since he is a Google employee he did NOT get the Ion Android phone at Google IO which I thought was odd. I speak at many of the same Internet Marketing conferences as him so I constantly pressure him to ditch the iPhone and stick with Android ;) ,Michael Martin GoogleAndBlog Now Matt just needs to ditch his iPhone.

I have used both mytracks and buddyrunner and buddy runner is far superior imo, but I suggest people try both and see what fits. @S ditto.

When I got home I overlaid where I skied onto google earth in 3D, which was well cool in a pointlessly geeky sort of way.

I have also purchased the add on module which lets you compete against your previous times and the tells you how far ahead/behind you are. Very clever!

The only problem is that the track isn't signed so I cannot use it for compete in the xcontest (www.xcontest.org), but for the function of fly diary it's enough. By the way, I'm waiting for a software like AFTrack: http://www.afischer-online.de/sos/AFTrack/ or Smartcom GPS: http://www.wild-mobile.com/eng/download.php Thank you Google!

I'll try out MyTracks next time, but curious if anyone has tried both and can comment on what they liked or disliked about each.

And for those that don't know it existed its a nice refresher. I know this app isn’t new… but again, the “slice of life” seeing how Matt Cutts uses/used it I thought was interesting.

Especially the feature to upload it automatically to My Maps is pretty sweet. The only thing I need now is for Google to send the new My Map automatically to my website so I can show it to my family and friends. I'm familiar with the embed option, but this is done manually. I need to do it automatically, through rss perhaps. Anyone any experience with this? Yes, it’s an awesome app. Been using it for a while now.
