Hey there — like your new Avatar. I am always looking for good local rides. The Trails app is cool simply because it is not labor intensive. Plus EveryTrail has come a long way. Too bad the iPhone has such a poor camera! If you record any good rides, let me know, I’ll post them. I wouldn’t mind seeing your route into the city. I am going to do one from Barrhaven to downtown.

Looks like a great ride! What a beautiful day (compared to today O.o) Also looks like a pretty cool app. Going to have to give it a try.

Hey Philippe — I believe that the altitude is from the GPS. I suggest that you check though. Also — good news — there is a Blackberry Application that has just been released. Look on the EveryTrail site!

+1 to that! but i’ve got a BB
Do you know if the altitude reported by the app is taken from google map or if it is the real gps altitude?

The great part is that if you have an iPhone you are not spending 100′s of dollars on a piece of equipment that has limited use.
