I will be on a holiday trip (the Norwegian fjords). I will be doing things there of which I think the Desire can be useful:
- drive from one hotel to the next
- walks in nature
- keep my parents up-to-date about my current location
- collect GPS data about the walks / routes for memory & review when back home
Mobile Data will be off as this is incredibly expensive abroad. Most hotels I stay offer wifi though.
So which applications should I use ?
Navigation: Google Navigation probably needs a mobile data connection ? Is there other software that can possibly pre-load the Norwegian road maps ?
Walks: idem dito, any application that has pre-loaded maps of known walks in west Norway ?
Keeping parents up-to-date: use Latitude, part of Google Maps ? But does it work with mobile data off and does it sync when on wifi at night ?
Collect tracks: no idea! I could use the Footprints application, taking pictures here and there, but not sure how to put them on a map in the correct order to reconstruct a journey.
Any things you use the Desire for on a holiday trip that is not listed here ? Please add!
Thank you for your input!
