gps tracking on blackberry?
Hey guys, i was wondering if there is a way on either blackberry maps or google maps to set it to record your riding path?
What I enjoy the most about riding is getting lost and just going where the road takes me. Last time i did this i found a real cool spot, and it took hours of searching when i got home to find out where it was because i forgot the street name. Has anyone done this? I would love to go home, connect my phone to the computer, and export the map with the line showing where i've been.

Upgrade to an Android, I bet there is an app for it.

ah, theres your problem. motorola. don't blame google for faulty hardware
even using the droids, its not hard. i think you need root though... (everyone should have root anyway... phones are next to useless without it) my headset's call button is currently mapped to voice search, so i hit call, then say "call <person>" and wait a few seconds. ring ring! edit: although i'm not sure if this would work with all the noise on a motorcycle... but anyway, enough thread jacking!

Just played with it a bit. Seems pretty cool. Actually I was trying to find my phone yesterday, so I logged in and saw it was at the supermarket parking lot in my car while my wife was picking up some food.

For Android users:
http://trackmaster.trackaroo.com/welcome http://www.sportstracklive.com/ I have the sportstracklive "Speedometer" app installed but have not tried using it while riding since I don't have a mount or tank bag. |

i think i have the storm version because i downloaded it right from the app store from my phone. Also i did go into settings but i didnt see anything about turning off gps. I read something like that too. There is a beta version for storm but when i put the link in my browser on the blackberry it couldn't download the file. When i do it from a pc however the jad file seems to download. Maybe I need to try to install with with the desktop manager.
