GPS feature of my cell phone

As I have written while back, I have a pretty fancy cell phone (HTC TyTn II). This thing can do anything, from checking email and editing Word and Excel files to playing games and telling you how to get to your destination (by the use of GPS). Yes, you can also make calls with it. :-)

I recently installed Trackr, a program that tracks your GPS position, on my phone. It will post your latest location to a website (which is how I can display my current location on the right side of this blog). Trackr can also record your track which can come in handy if you want to track your biking or running sessions. When you are done recording your track, you simply upload it to your account on Trackr's website and your whole track is shown on a Google Maps.

You can export your track into a GPX format while you are on Trackr's website. Then, take this GPX file and upload it to http://utrack.crempa.net/. Utrack is amazing! It will create a report of your track and will show your a speed profile, elevation profile, various statistics and a map of your track in Google Maps.

I was able to do all this using free software and free websites. Trackr is now available for Blackberry devices so go ahead and download it from their web site.
