Trail Hound

Navigation systems tell you where to go; Trail Hound tells you where you’ve been. Whether you’re walking, running, biking, or driving, Trail Hound highlights your route on a Google map. While tracking, it shows your trail distance, travel time, and compass direction.

Trail Hound lets you add markers to your map to show intervals of distance and time. For example, while you’re walking, you may want to emphasize every quarter-mile of your route. Trail Hound will add those markers to your map as you walk. You may also have Trail Hound talk to you if you need company during your travels. You may set it to report to you on intervals of distance and time. This is especially useful to runners who want to know how far they’ve run and their time splits. Don’t use the feature while flying, you’ll really annoy your fellow passengers.

Potential users:
● Walkers, runners, bikers, boaters, drivers, and flyers to trace and measure their routes.
● Hikers and campers, to retrace their steps on and off the trail.
● Shoppers, to return to a parking spot.
● Travelers, to navigate an unknown area and keep a record of their route.
● Students, to become familiar with a college campus.
● Law enforcement officials, to record patrol and search patterns.
● Farmers, to record sowing, spraying, and harvesting patterns.
● Teenagers, to prove to their parents that they went to church.
● College professors, to help them remember the way back home.
● And many others.
