Planning a voyage this winter or next summer - or maybe a week of chartering in a warm climate? Here's an Android app you should take a look at if you like to maintain a log and have a record of all the particulars of your voyage. The app GPS Long Distance Log runs in the background of your phone or tablet and records the particulars of your routes or complete voyage along with as much data related to the boat and conditions as you desire. When you're done, you can view your trip on a map or export it to a text file to print out and share or to a GPX file for export to a plotting program and view it on a chart. Or use it all season long to maintain your ship's log. It's more efficient than the breadcrumb tracking of your chartplotter program and uses much less battery power in the background. Check it out.
