TripCast by Jeep© – a trail mapping app of the iPhone

Have any of you seen TripCast by Jeep© yet?  I friend of mine, who knows I love to wheel, asked me on FaceBook this morning if I had seen it.  If you haven’t checked it out, you should.  Thanks Kim for the info.

Hit the road with the free iPhone app that tracks the progress of your driving adventures and lets your friends follow along and enjoy your photos, videos and notes in real time.

The user can also use it as a mapping software.  TripCast will put things on your map for you, like Beaches, Camping Areas, Hike and Bike Trails, Off-road trails, and many other points of interest.

Once you get your friends using the app there are some more great features.  It will even notify you when a friend is in your vicinity.  Great for a meet up and maybe even a last minute wheeling trip.

Enjoy your tunes while still mapping your trip.  The ipod overlay feature lets you listen and control music right inside the app.

Our user ID is TrailDriven, of course.  Friend us up.  We would love to see your wheeling trips.

We had wives, girlfriend, and kids all raring to go!  ………It was also going to be a snow run as 1-3 inches were predicted by noon, it didn’t happen, lying weathermen!

I really wanted to do something I haven’t done before, but two of the guys in the group voted against me and chose Mill Creek / Bill Moore combo.  We did decide not to run Red Elephant up, as it can be nasty in wet conditions. So starting Bill Moore from Empire, just after the beginning switchbacks to the top, one of us in the group started to get really sick, and ended up turning around on the trail.  (it sounded like altitude sickness.)

…..with three of us remaining we trekked on, but somehow missed our turn to Mill Creek, ending up going backwards on [Read more...]
