If BlackBerry® Maps™ is available on your device, you may click "Preview Map" to view your already tracked GPS points on a map.
Press "Stop Tracking" when you are finished with your trip and wait until saving has finished.

MobileTracker has been designed to be as easy to as possible. Within 2 easy steps you can start recording a tracklog: 1. Start MobileTracker; 2. Press the start button to start the recording. Moreover, you can select the delay that should be between every recorded point of your tracklog. This allows you to adjust the recording to your movement.
One more button click is needed to stop the recording and save the tracklog to the specified location.
Integration:
All of MobileTracker's information can be quickly viewed in Google Earth's™ 3D view. It is even not necessary to copy the tracklog file from the device. The BlackBerry® can be easily connected to your desktop computer. By selecting the directory your tracklog has been stored to, you will immediately find your tracklog. Double clicking on it will automatically open your tracklog in Google Earth™.
Furthermore, the tracklog can be published and shared over the web using the free Google Maps™ service. So you can now easily embed a tracklog from your hiking, biking or running trip into your website. Imagine of publishing your current and previous running logs on your website or blog to let people take part in your hobby. Taking advantage of the BlackBerry® you already have will minimize your expense on additional GPS hardware.
Programs like NASA WorldWind are compatible with the tracklog format as well.

An example of such a photo can also be seen below.
