Tracking your trip - How?
So I recently came across, thanks to a mate on his RTW a website that tracks your trip by GPS file. There are dozens out there so I thought why not see what others are using to track their whereabouts as they galavant around the world!
Fess-up, let others know how you track your trips?
To get the ball rolling, I'll share our experience. We have been using Google Maps for most of our planning and it's ok. But it really is annoying when it goes to the next page. There is (or was) no way to see all your way points on one map, until I found EveryTrail ( EveryTrail - Travel Community, iPhone Guides for Sightseeing, Hiking, Walking Tours and more) It allows you to upload gpx files, and many other GPS data files. What I found was that from Google Maps I could download a .kml file and upload it into EveryTrail and hey presto, there is my whole map, with the overview and all my waypoints should I wish to display/share them. What a beauty!!
You can check it out on our website here.
It's what I've been looking for since the invention of sliced bread, oh and best of all it's free. I even downloaded the Google Android App onto my tablet and it's tracking our every move. Gotta love big-brother.
