There may be a version on iphone but since Apple is wrong and evil I have no idea.

The app is called Mapmywalk, it will map the distamce, average time, calories, and much more. It can also update facebook if you so wi**** will show your route when you are done as well. It is the best of its kind that I have tried and thought I would share. Enjoy!

downloading it now, thanks for the info. Not sure if the GPS part costs money or not with my plan but will try it for sure.

GPS is a built in function of a phone so it will not cost (aside from the battery drain). The data is minimal but would cost if you go over your data limit. As I posted below though it is not much.

Do you record then log later? Just it will use up lots of time otherwise being airtime or mb.

I am lucky enough to have the unlimited data with Verizon so I just let it sync immediately. You can though choose to let it sync to the website then post to FB later. It uses VERY little data though. When it posts your litterally talking about 100 kb because it just posts how far you went in what time with avg. Speed etc. Something to try and track though but im sure it is insignificant.

Yeah I only have 500 MB of data a month, if I had only waited a couple of months my teenager has 1000MB. And yes I think I was wondering what was draining my battery and someone said it was the GPS to make sure it is turned off. I need to find a charger cord for my phone, mine was left plugged into the stove and someone went and turned the oven on and melted my cord so I have to use their cord now to charge it lol.

My sister in law turned me onto that app about a month ago - I love it.  I am in VA this week visiting my new great nephew and it has been great while I walk around a different state.  Only issue I have is when it won't sync up to GPS for some reason.

I do no****ch it while running but when I look back on my routes it has never missed any of my workout. I would imagine that if it did disconnect it would fill in a straight line from where you were to where you are. Like I said though, maybe it is my phone (Droid 4) but it has never had a problem dropping me. For Android phones I highly recommend sticking with Motorola right now. I am a tech for a living so that is a bona fide geek recommendation.
