This involves using <a href=\"http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/mytracks\/\">mytracks<\/a> on an Android based smart phone. My one&#8217;s a LG P970 which has a pretty good GPS sensor. Mytracks records your GPS tracks has live statistics such as time, speed, distance, and elevation you traveled, and works fine over longer distances and times. Does not consume too much battery, and when you have finished your track you can export the track as a KML file, which can be easily overlayed on <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/support\/bin\/answer.py?hl=de&amp;answer=41136\">Google Maps<\/a>.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=de&amp;geocode=&amp;q=http:%2F%2Fjohannes-beck.name%2Fkml%2F2011-07-05%25201009.kml&amp;sll=47.183179,4.074211&amp;sspn=0.076303,0.16119&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=47.183063,4.074125&amp;spn=0.037335,0.054846&amp;z=13&amp;output=embed\"><\/iframe>\n<p>The track around the lake is about 15 km long and flat, so it&#8217;s a real nice walk.
