Trails will actually record the route you take on any trip. This can be a walk/jog, trip, vacation, etc. It uses the GPS to find your exact location on the map, marks it, and then creates the route on the map.
Note – The 3G iPhone is required to for this application to work correctly.
Sadly you have to keep your iPhone on while it’s ‘tracking’ you. This is a limitation of the SDK, not the developer being lazy. The best idea is to turn WiFi off, and make the screen as dim as possible before running this application.
This application will not sync on my iPod Touch.
@Tammy, Now I believe it’s restricted to the iPhone 3G(since it’s dependent on the GPS hardware).
I like how you wrote and express through your article post… Well, keep it on my friend ;)
This is a great app. I use it on every mountain bike ride. I just turned off the ‘live map’ feature, and it tracks even when i’m not in 3G range. Also, the upload feature rocks. I am mapping all my trips out on the internet. 2 thumbs up.
The app looks very good if maps are not diplayed. When displaying maps often the screen become black for ten seconds and sometimes much more. I do not know if it is related to an attempt to switch between landscape and portrait mode or something else. Anyway it seems related to movement of the iphone.
