With the Samsung Moment, I had limited success uploading photos to Google My Maps with the Google My Maps Editor Android application. In addition, it has a much longer battery life and better power management tools so I can now record coordinates for longer adventures.

HTC EVO ShiftВ (current phone)В вЂ“ It performs similarly to the Motorola Droid andВ is significantly better than my old Samsung Moment.

Motorola Droid on the VerizonВ вЂ“ ItВ records very accurate GPS coordinates on hiking trails in the dense woods of New York whereas my Samsung Moment always struggled to record accurate coordinates in the dense woods of Virginia.A big issue with the Moment was its weak battery life so longer adventures could not be recorded. Thus, for remote trails, I recommend turning on My Tracks before entering an area without cell phone service to increase the chance of being able to record GPS coordinates. However, it would maintain a GPS signal when transitioning from an area with cell phone service into an area without. It was unable to obtain a GPS signal in areas where I did not have a cell phone signal (e.g., our hike in Mountain Lake, VA).

Samsung Moment on SprintВ вЂ“ It worked well, at times, recording GPS coordinates for the Poverty Creek Trail System which is close to Blacksburg, VA and an area were I get strong service from Sprint.
