Been looking at Ski Tracks. Thinking of splashing out the 79p fee. It says that it does not drain battery power. Anyone any experience of this?

Is it just GPS that it uses for location etc?

Surely the max speed all day will be when I am on a cable car? I am no speed demon :shock:


If you're worried about battery drain Ski Tracks can be set to stop tracking when your battery reaches a certain level. Meaning you'll have enough to make a call, receive texts, etc.

Piste maps is also a nice free app. They seem to have most resorts on it and you can zoom in.

I used Ski Tracks on my iPhone this year and thought it was really good, certainly worth 69p. It didn't drain the battery too much, certainly not like other activities e.g. making a telephone call which I don't think Apple considered when they designed the i"phone"!

Evidently we travelled uphill a bit, downhill a bit and at varying speeds. And I can prove it! I found the distance travelled most interesting.

I also have "on the snow" ski info which was free and is a neat way to see conditions, forecast and webcams at your favourite resorts.
