Remember that walk?



This is a record of a walk that my missus and I took earlier this year. It's provided by an excellent website called Trailino. This lets you upload GPS tracks to a central database and see them represented in several different formats. I particularly like the Google Earth movies.

To me, and to lots of other outdoors-y people, the GPS tracks our our adventures are just as significant and evocative as any photograph. We look at the steep curve of the altitude profile and remember a climb and it all comes flooding back. When will brands tke advantage of this? Or should they?
