I'm going to have to try that..drying sheets....

If you have a smartphone, you have free access to a GPS-powered internet breadcrumb trail, otherwise known as Spotwalla--use it if you have any family that will be concerned for you.

Spot wallah isn't an app though. I didn't see it in the App Store. So everyone that wants to track you has to set up an account?

Spotwalla is a website that connects to a variety of GPS-enabled devices. The list of App's that are compatible is on the Spotwalla website--I use "Bubbler GPS" (totally free) on my android phone. Whatever device (through whatever App) you use to connect needs to be powered on and active while moving to send regular signals that Spotwalla records.

When you create a trip in Spotwalla, a web link can be generated for you to share with friends--they just need to click on the link in an email you might send them, or post to some other site. No need to create a bunch of accounts for them.

Here is a link to another forum I use frequently, with a detailed walk-though for using Spotwalla: http://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.../?hl=spotwalla

Try it out on a small trip just around your area once or twice to get the process down before blasting off.

All the best,

Shane

No updates that I can see along the way, which would be completely understandable but it looks like they are closing on the finish.
