TrackRec v1.01 with faster drawing and more robust track saving is now available in App Store, so get it while it's hot :p ... Here's a link to the application page.

This version should solve many of the problems reported related to track saving, which basically was too slow when the application was quitting.

A new version (v1.01) of TrackRec was submitted for review today and will hopefully show up in App Store soon. It contains optimizations for faster track drawing on maps and more robust track saving. Saved tracks will also take up significantly less space with the new update.

TrackRec is also on Twitter.

Some initial tips&tricks:

• As in any Google maps application on the iPhone, you can zoom in by double tapping on the map, and zoom out by tapping with two fingers simultaneously.
• Use the lock slider on the main screen to avoid stopping the tracking unintentionally. You cannot use the normal iPhone locking functionality, as that disables the GPS. For best results, you should also disable auto lock in settings.
• TrackRec has an entry in the iPhone settings, where you can choose to view distances in miles or kilometers, or set the GPS accuracy (in order to trade battery life for precision).
• To rename a saved track, click "Edit" in the history table, and then the little arrow on the right.
• Don't miss out on the "Share" functionality on the track history maps. If you have email set up on your iPhone, you can export tracks in KML format, such that they can be viewed in e.g. Google Earth.
