GPSiesConnect: Free App Adds GPSies Tracks to GPSLogger
Matthias let me know that he has released a free complimentary app for GPSLogger called GPSiesConnect. This new app gives you access to the popular GPSies database full of community shared GPS tracks. It even lets you upload your own track to GPSies.com. Pretty cool for those of you who like to take your BlackBerry off the beaten path.
As a reminder GPSLogger is a free app from Matthias that lets you record your own GPS track offline and playback another users GPS track so these two apps fit hand in hand. You can read more or download GPSLogger at this link.
From the description:
