Here is an example of just a short ride if you just want to see how it tracks out, I'm working on editing out a whole map for my area and uploading it to google earth (yes you can do this for 3d). I just realized another cool feature however. I can't figure out if I did not save info with this link or it does not show in linked maps? but there is a collaboration now so for instance, for you awk you could have multiple people take maps of say Awk Mountain and overlay them all.

I will post my whole map when done.

awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .

edit.....did the google earth veiw, dude thats badass, and looks like you have quite a huge riding area, as i do
i hope i can get this figered out, mapped and posted, before my ride in july !!!!!!!!!

Yea I've mapped over 150 miles of trails just riding out my shop into forest service land, it's like my backyard, I should take pics sometimes, well you kinda saw I guess. I've been working on mapping out all the trails and then overlaying them into one master google earth map.

But glad you guys enjoy man, I would argue that minus the temp it is a better tool than a trail tech. and free

Damn went up a whole box, thanks man I:I Truthfully how could you not share this. I thought long and hard about getting a trailtech like a year ago and then said, wait ... what the f**ck, I got this expensive ass phone, It has to be able to do something better and whadda you know. I tried like nine or ten apps before coming across this one but they were all standalone GPS apps. Since I have a google droid this synced right up with google maps which is part of android not a separate app so seamless integration.
 
help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm tracking my trails, saving map, which on my phone i can see the trail marked in red, uploaded to google, and also saved it in all 3 or 4 different formats to my sim card, then transfered to my puter and uploaded to "my maps" on my google account,
so i've tried every possible way i can see, and the all the maps are listed in my google, but when i click on them, it only asks me if i want to download them,
no google map opens showing me my map
WTF ?????????????????
 
cause i'm a de da dee !!!!!!
i needed to set my default location, and my maps showed right up, freakin awesome, heres a little run my bro in-law on his kfx700 and I did today, till he told me he was gettin low on fuel < dumbass didnt put any in
