First run with babyjogger

Today was the first time I went for a run with the babyjogger with my 7 months old daughter in it. The weather was great: 23 degrees with mild clouds and a little wind. She had a lot of fun, as had I. This was also the first time I used my new iPhone 3GS to track the map using InstaMapper. InstaMapper is a free tool that sends waypoints periodically to the InstaMapper server. Below 120 seconds between updates it keeps the gps on, over that time it turns the gps off. It won't send an update until the configured accuracy is reached. This time I used 100 meters and 60 seconds. When the gps stays on InstaMapper claims that it will drain the battery in 5 hours. On the InstaMapper website you can make a track from a series of waypoints which you can than export or share with the world. Until Posterous supports .KML files the following map is created with an iframe to InstaMapper.
