I have software on my Windows Mobile phone that will do this. In fact,
there are numerous apps available for recording GPS tracks on
GPS-equipped phones, including iPhones and Blackberries. I use GPSed
(www.gpsed.com), which will automatically upload your tracks to their
site for immediate display on Google Maps, and can automatically geotag
your photos posted to PicasaWeb or Flikr.


I'm not all that fond of spreading my personal information all over the
place, so I just use Bluetooth to transfer the GPS tracks from my phone
to my Mac where they're converted to KML files by HoudahGPS. Then I can
view them with Google Earth without everybody else knowing where I've
been.

GPSed DOES have the option to leave all your tracks private.


And if you choose to believe that, I'd like to talk to you about this
bridge I have for sale...
