EveryTrail


 http://www.everytrail.com/

The application that we decided to review is EveryTrail. EveryTrail is a geospatial application that provides a way to share trips, connect with other travelers and find great new things to do.
The following can be done on this application:
            Map a trip route with your phone or GPS
            Add trip photos to your map instantly
            Add maps & photos to your blog or website
            Explore and share in the EveryTrail community
EveryTrail provides multi-dimensional benefits. These benefits include mobile travel guides that are paperless and location- aware. These guides are written by experts and are constantly updated with new points of interest. In addition, EveryTrail also provides guides on using different EveryTrail applications such as “EveryTrail Audio Guide”. Furthermore there is a blog where members can share their maps, routes and photos.
 EveryTrail applications are available for iPhone and Android phones for free. Some features are not available on the free application and require you to purchase the full application for a fee of $3.99.
Lastly, what would an application be if it was not able to social network? EveryTrail allows you to post a map on your website or blog, share on Twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites, e-mail your trip, and share in the EveryTrail community.
