TrailGuru: Track Where You Go

There are a million devices for sale these days that allow you to track where you go and report stats on it. These devices, however, tend to be unsightly wristwatches or are embeddable features of your satellite navigation gadget. TrailGuru steps in and takes away the need for the extra gadgetry and gives you all the same features but from your iPhone.

Getting it is easy. Download the app from the iTunes store, install it to your menu and run it.

Using it is even easier. You click the start button when you start your walk/run/bike and then click stop when you arrive. The application works out your elevation, speed, location and distances.

So you have all this information, now what? Now, you simply click “Post” and it uploads your track to the TrailGuru website. Here you can view your averages and even a map of your outing. Here is mine from my trip to the pet shop on my lunch break:

If your iPhone is jailbroken or not, this app is a very useful addition to your iPhone program menu.

    surely the fact I don’t have 3G or Edge will make this expensive on data whilst out and about?
    I’m really not sure about any location devices because my iphone is cracked and working on a cheap sim.

    I dont think it sends any data whilst you use it, it just uses the GPS chip to find out where you are.

    I say this because you click the “POST” link in the app to upload that data.

    I don’t want to say it will but I am pretty sure if you ran it and then used your WIFI connection, it wouldn’t cost a thing.
