I have whatsapp installed but find ping chat works better. especially for sending MMS. Viber cant fault it, brilliant app :wink:

Does Ski tracks not use GSM data and therefore cost an arm and a leg?

I have a GPS altimeter/speedometer on an Iphone 3GS but it won't work with GPS alone, needs a GSM signal.

I've also found that using GPS the battery life is less than a days skiing!

good point, I was hoping to use Ski Tracks next week but not if it costs via GSM - any way of getting this free????

Ski tracks does not use GSM data and uses very little battery life. I have used it in Tignes this season. There is a topic on snowheads where the developer of Ski Tracks has asked for feed back. The original versions top speeds were out, I topped 71mph but when i downloaded the update the coding had been sorted. My top speed now read 49.7mph, Which i reckon is more accurate.
