Fantastic tool as is, or to build into a larger web system

With the 1.3 release, GPS Log now has the ability to send a KMZ file of your visits to your email address, or upload KML files and thumbnails of your images to a script running on your server. This means its become a fantastic trip blogging tool, you can easily get a file that you can view in Google Earth or view laid out in Google Maps on your own site, uploaded from wherever you can get coverage. And not have to have network coverage while youre gathering data, or worry about the battery life issues of a full-time tracker. Ill be using it to put trip reports of hikes, bike rides, and road trips on my weblog.

However, I think the applications for this go far beyond just a richer blogging experience; this tool should get integrated into maintenance systems, security routines, and other places where people need rich interfaces to providing location information. Any situation where people need to keep track of what they were doing when.

Other than that, it does exactly what it says: Lets you tap the screen and log information about a visit to a location, with pictures and notes, so it lets you keep track of where youve been and what youve done without needing to be running all the time (good for battery life), and doesnt require that you be connected to a network while youre doing so (good for remote areas or foreign travel where the roaming fees would otherwise kill you).
