Since this is my vacation week I have decided to make a record of one of the hiking trips using AllTrails app. You do not need to have an account to view this recording:

This is cool. And your hiking destination looks amazing. I assume you used an iPhone app? I”m going to have to try this on my next adventure, assuming I won’t need to be in cell phone range. We just purchased an InReach (http://www.inreachdelorme.com/) two-way satellite text messaging, tracking and SOS. It is also supposed to feed into Twitter and Facebook. I might have to play around with a bit more to do that.
I made this while I was in out of service area. It just uses the gps signal, your phone’s camera and only sinks everything when you get a stable internet connection (not even over Mobile data). The InReach looks solid! Would be interested to know what you think after you play with it. Need to teach Opee how to text message 🙂
This is very cool.
I love the idea of keeping track of your photos along the hiking trail. So I assume though you need a cell signal to record your locations? Or is there the option to have a GPS (not on your phone) and you attach the photos to the map later using the coordinates?
I love the fact that you have the topo lines associated with the photos, it’d be funny to photograph your face as you go, especially when the terrain got very steep or rugged, to see your expression change could be quite entertaining 😉 Thanks!
Hi Rebecca, I used a phone App, but you do not have to be in service area to create a map. At least I was not. There is an option of editing the map and adding photos with the paid version of the App. I just use the freebie. And I love your idea of taking pictures of the faces! This particular hike would be full of painful expressions for the first two miles as we gained 1200 ft in elevation and the terrain was rather rough, plus my dog is way faster than me so I had to work hard to keep up his pace since he was attached to me by a harness.
