EveryTrail

Every Trail is a GPS travel community where you can upload saved trips from your GPS device and view other users trips to plan your next trek. I discovered this site though my iphone when I was downloading different running and biking trackers. EveryTrail has quickly become one of my favorite websites and iphone apps.

The biggest setback was the selection… It was fun for a weekend but I’m going to wait for a larger selection before I purchase the TV box or hookup the laptop again.
