[talk-au] Recommendations for iPhone track logging

[Cameron Horsburgh]

(Sorry, I forgot to reply to the list)

I use MotionX GPS. It has the choice of Bing and Google maps, as well
as OSM maps which can be loaded on to the device for offline use. It
allows you to record tracks and waypoints which can then be emailed to
wherever as GPX traces.
