Essentially its a tracker, one part of the app tracks gps location and logs it to a file, the other part loads the file into a mapView with the readings (taken every 10 or however many seconds you like), essentially loading the route you took. This is for using when going off road, i am into trail bike riding, i thought it would be cheaper to write an app for my phone then buy a tracker! Then when a guide takes me out in places i have never been, i'll then have the route for another time, so no need for a guide!!
But as described when loading the full track (60 being a very small log), the mapView becomes unusable.
