To see the Metadata click on the final end point. If the Map does not appear click on Bike Ride in a larger map.

This map shows my bike ride that I went on the other day and what is cool is all this data was collected using my HTC Evo. I am testing out this app called My Tracks. It is an android app that will run on any phone that runs the android system. I figured why not test it out. All I had to do is hit record and go. The thing that was great about this app was that is recorded and stored a lot of meta data about my ride like distance, average speed, max grade and even elevation gain. Another thing I really like about this app is that I was able to record the GPS data directly to google maps, this feature makes it really easy to convert to a web map that you can then publish. I am going to try and use this app while storm chasing, snowboarding, bike riding, even walking. – More to come about this app!!
