Hi all I am running TomTom 6 on my Spv M700, are there any add on programmes I can use to log a journey. If not I am thinking about buying a GpsBug that will show the route taken on Google Earth Maps.
Many Thanks

there are plenty of apps which do what you want!
try noni gps plot(freeware) or other commercial software like 'Run GPS', 'trackpal'....
they keep a track of variables like speed altitude plus lots more and can be imported to Google earth. just do a Google search for em

I use Miomap3.2 on my trinity and you can log your rounte onto any map you have, this helped me back track a taxi's route that he toke accross Bulgeria so i could get back in a hire car, Perfect! plus its alot smaller than TomTom, Give it a try sometime

You can try TrackMe (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340667). It does all you want (I think)

I use GPSplot ( http://aeguerre.free.fr/Public/PocketPC/NoniGPSPlot/EN/index.php )
to track and export to google earth. The site indicates also how to create a google earth background..

i personally use Run GPS, its for training, exercise etc it even handles multiple google maps with zoom function as backgrounds for tracking! you enter your personal info and it calculates how many calories you used etc.. don't know how accurate that is tho!

Thanks for all the replies, I am trying to run a tracking/logging programme while I am running Tom Tom 6. I don't expect to see the log on TomTom but would like to access the route afterwards. The problem I am having is my Orange Spv M700 that has Gps internally will not allow any of the splitter progammes to split the Gps signal between two progarmmes.
i.e. allow Tomtom to run with track me. I can run track me but not have TomTom running at the same time.
Thanks for all your help guys.

Thanks for the reply. Event Logger is not compatible with TomTom Nav 6. I have since managed to split my Gps port and I am trying some of the other programmes suggested.
Again many thanks to everyone.

I suggest you to buy an external data-logger device, like Wintec WBT201.
You can adjust how to log, e.g. every second, all 5 meters and so on. And you trinity donīt have to be on all the time.
After your journey you can sell the wintec.

I wanted a Gps logging programme/tool that i could use all the time not for a 1 off journey, I managed to split the port on my M700 by using Gps gate. Unfortunately I purchased a programme called Navio which logs journeys in Nmea format, using this and my tomtom at the same time slowed up my M700. I can use both at the same time using Gps gate but as I have explained everything runs very slow and tomtom locks up now & then.
