Wayfinder active - free software for gps tracking via cell phone

Here are some stats on my walk to work. Wayfinder active (free phone software) allows me to record the route on my cell phone and then e-mails me the map and stats. My cell phone doesn't have internal gps, so I bought a bluetooth gps recorder: i.Trek M5+ ($49.99). The M5+ has a battery life of 28-30 hrs, a 51 channel MTK chipset, and automatically enters a low energy mode if it is left on but no bluetooth device detected.

I stop at 7-11 for coffee, so that's why the speed is 0 for a bit near the beginning. :)

Start time: 19:30
End time: 20:05
Total duration: 00:35 h
Total distance: 2,653 m
Average speed: 4 km/h
Calories burned: 127.22

Yep, still using it.

To get the software go to this web site on your computer:

http://www.activeoutdoor.com/Activeoutdoor/GetWayfinderActive

enter your mobile # and e-mail, and they will send you a text message w/the download link to your phone.

You might need to have a data plan to use the wayfinder application.

You need to get wayfinder active soon because after this summer they will start charging for downloads.
