RE: Using my iphone on a camping trip

What kind of camping trip has toilets? Over here we just have the out doors or if you are in a camping ground then follow the sounds of a solid building I'd be very carefull taking technology in to the outdoors especialy when rock climbing. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@go

RE: Using my iphone on a camping trip

I don't really get this, What sort of camp out areas do you folks have over there? Over here you walk in to the bush and dig a hole where no one else can see you then squat! And if need be drop a match on the paper to get rid of the waste. Fill the hole in and go back to yoru tent. If you

That's not camping, That's a hotel on wheels. Try travelling a 400 Km river in canoes with all your tents, cloths food everything with you and the only time you see other life is when someone on a river bank waves to you. That trip took 12 days including portaging around 2 large hydro dams

Hi Yes, Only use I had for my phone was as a music player when sitting around the fire at night. Other wise to much to deal with while walking and checking out the life. As for rock climbing, Don't take your phone would be my suggestion. One slip while climbing will either hert or break your

Tim, just to back up what you’re saying, you could also pull the direct lat and long data from the GPS and plot it on a real map if you had to. The GPS data can be grabbed and translated in to both time and lat / Lon position pretty easily which is what Google maps in your example was doing. G
