If you would like to either log your hikes, or contribute item locations and trail tracks, you'll need to record GPS tracks. I'll look into phones, but in the meantime I'll document what I use, two different Garmin devices.

In a recent test, the eTrex was about twice as accurate as the Forerunner. I suspect both are mote accurate than a phone would be.

These documents will describe any special settings, how to log waypoints/pins and create tracks/paths. Then when you get home, the best way to get them off of the device.
