GPS Tracks is exactly what its name implies, a real-time location tracking application. It takes advantage of iOS 4 multitasking so that you can use other apps while tracking. In addition to tracking your location, it also keeps track of your time and distance and displays everything nicely in a built-in Google map.

• Use other apps on your iPhone without having to quit GPS Tracks because it leverages multitasking in iOS 4 to run in the background
• Track your location, including elevation if you have an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4, in real-time
• Get a live view of your current track on a Google map
• Add, remove, and rename waypoints
• Export your GPS data as universal GPX files via email
• Simple and easy to use
• Configure the GPS settings to find the best mix between GPS accuracy and battery life appropriate for your needs
• Select either metric or English units
• Rename or delete old track logs

The folks over at High Order Bit have generously given us a few promo codes to give away! For a chance to win, let us know how you plan to use GPS Tracks in your life, whether it’s hiking, biking, running, or something else! We’ll randomly choose 3 of you as winners. Give away starts now, ends Sunday, July 11 at midnight PST.
