iphone app for tracks and waypoints

UKCM has a waypoint mapping feature. I haven't used it, but maybe some UK measurers or its creator can respond.

The key would be if UKCM allows you to upload tracks and waypoints to the phone. Then I could use it to follow the course the same way I currently do with my Garmin. Jim, do you know offhand if it does this, or do we need to wait for a response from Dougie?

The latest iphone update I just got has an app called RunKeeper that's free and supposedly saves tracks. I downloaded but haven't yet tried it for measuring.

Thanks Bob. I haven't yet taken the iphone plunge, but when I do I'll check this out.

GPS Kit & Track Editor, both by GARAFA. I use both and have found both helpful for multiple activities business & personal. They're not free, or cheap (meanding not 99-cents) but worth what I paid.

I will check it out Brandon. Thanks.

Mark - out of curiosity, are you just looking to get rid of the GPS, and only carry the phone? If not, why are you looking to replace the GPS? Seems like a GPS would have more accuracy than a phone with a GPS antenna.

I would prefer to carry only one thing. And I'm not sure accuracy is all that important. Also, my GPS is getting a bit old, and it sometimes takes forever to update maps when I zoom in and out.

Just to follow up, the one I downloaded is of very limited usefulness. But it's good on "confidence building"-- after a 1-mile walk they sent me a congratulatory e-mail and told me I'm on my way to meeting my fitness goal. :-)

Hi, Sorry for the late contribution; just noticed I was mentioned earlier on!
The UKCM app can store position information from the iPhone against logged waypoints but it does not store the track information. The feature allows logged points to be exported to a programme like Google Earth as a convenience when indulging in further mapping exploits. I can't vouch for the absolute accuracy of the iPhone location information as it is a bit unquantifiable. Consumer GPS units like the Garmin eTrex produce good track information (if maximum time-based updating used rather than heading-based updating) which is easily exportable to Google Earth. I usually restrict all of this data to the business of gross error checking and assistance in the production of the course plan.
