Hi there

I know you are fond of hi technology so here is a nice gadget for
tracking your trips.

http://www.trackstick.com/products/index.html (amazing videos)

But that costs an awful lot of money (almost 300 Euro)

However, ...

I can do exactly the same with my Blackberry Bold if I run Trackbuddy
(freeware) and the Blackberry cost me less than 200 Euro.

Actually my phone operator disabled the GPS function on my Blackberry
Bold (they want me to subscribe to the 9€ per month feature) but I got
it up and running now and I must say it is very accurate and quick. You
need to tweek around with the advanced settings (putting GPS off and
then on again) to get it running. On the GPS coordinates in the list the
values remain zero but in the mapping programs (I can now run both
blackberry maps and google maps) it works fine. These run independent
from the phone grid (it works when gsm and wifi functions are off). The
nice thing about trackbuddy is that you can download loads of maps for
it and even satellite maps, altitude maps and you name it , for free!.
That can be useful when you want to fly your Cessna through the clouds
over the Rocky Mountains.
