I really enjoy roaming free over the land, seeking adventure and physical exercise. I often don't know where I'm heading before I am there - in particular if I roam around in a car, looking for good areas for a quick evening run.

My solution: I email from my phone a quick trip plan (where am I, where am I heading) to my wife's email account. If I am not due back when I am supposed to she can read all the details at her email. That way I don't have to wake her up (due to a medical condition she goes to bed early) with a text message.


This system is very good for my rather erratic short evening runs, but does not replace a proper game plane on longer trips. It can be used to post updates to existing game plans.
