Ok, was looking for a way to share the elevation along my ride to work, and couldn't find anything good/reliable/allows sharing. I did stumble across MyTracks by Google (Android, though i'd expect there's an iOS version), which doesn't share detailed elevation, or at least i haven't figured out how, but it does record my trip. If you download the file and open it with Google Earth, the end point gives average speed, some elevation details, and the like. I uploaded mine to my Google Drive (if you have a Gmail account, you have one already), and set one public so far, my trip home: The trip to work is almost the same, except where i connect to the 370, i use a bicycle exit on the way home because of a crappy traffic light, but use a regular ramp to get on. If you want to poke at it some more, here's the trip. So, anyone else wanna share their journeys? I think it'll be fun to see how we use our scooters, special trips, regular trips, etc.

I miss Google Latitude. Looks like MyTracks may finally be a decent replacement. Thanks for the tip!

Unfortunately, unlike Latitude, it doesn't share real time, basically you record your trip, and can set it to save it to your Google drive. Best i've found for Latitude is Hemisphere, but its a little buggy, and there's no desktop client. This week or next, i'll be posting another trip, and this one should be fun, Fenton, roughly 30 miles from here, i want to get some info about Coolster's 110cc motors. That'll either happen tomorrow, or next Monday.

Not sure if this is the same thing, but android app "GPS Speedometer Free" by Dan Cadar will also write a google earth file, and includes top speed, average speed, trip time and altitude data.. Also can be set for a reflective HUD display.. Hope that helps..

What i really want is something more like a ticker tape showing my elevation along the trip.

Ah, maybe Altimeter Graph, option 4. in the Google play store. Must have android 4.0.3 or above. Probably a few more graphing apps for cyclists, plus there are some stand alone hardware devices, though more expensive. Casio Protrek at around $200.00 for instance..
