Apps can do a lot for you on the road, but sometimes it's best to practice with them while still at home. Here's a mapping app to try:
Using your smartphone's global positioning system, LiveTrekker plots your route on a map and can pinpoint the monuments, museums, restaurants and hotels you visit. If, for example, you stop to shoot a photo or video, write notes or record the ambient sound of New York City traffic, LiveTrekker will mark that spot on the map. You can view the map on the app but also on LiveTrekker.com, where when you hover your mouse over one of the spots where, say, you shot a video, a window appears, and you'll be able to watch the footage. You can also share your updates in real time through email, Twitter and Facebook. Cost: free.-- New York Times News ServiceHave more to add? News tip? Tell us
