Quick app and give-away: GPS Tracks for iPhone

GPS Tracks is exactly what its name implies, a real-time location tracking application. It takes advantage of iOS 4 multitasking so that you can use other apps while tracking. In addition to tracking your location, it also keeps track of your time and distance and displays everything nicely in a built-in Google map.

  • Use other apps on your iPhone without having to quit GPS Tracks because it leverages multitasking in iOS 4 to run in the background
  • Track your location, including elevation if you have an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4, in real-time
  • Get a live view of your current track on a Google map
  • Add, remove, and rename waypoints
  • Export your GPS data as universal GPX files via email
  • Simple and easy to use
  • Configure the GPS settings to find the best mix between GPS accuracy and battery life appropriate for your needs
  • Select either metric or English units
  • Rename or delete old track logs
