I have tried it out a couple of times. It's pretty cool. I start the phones GPS & MyTrails. Then take pics & video with my phone. When I get home I plug the phone into the computer via USB & open up the MyTrails folder. Then I copy the GPX file to a folder named for that scouting trip. Within that folder I make another folder for the pics & video's. Then I open the GPX file with TopoFusion (free version for now) & my tracks come up. Then if I want the pics to show I choose "PhotoFusion" from a drop down menu and select the folder with the pics in it & they show at they proper spots on the map. I don't know how to get the video's to a go on the map. I will have to try to work on that.

A couple things I don't like about TopoFusion are that the thumbnails are to big & I wish there were more map sources available like Yahoo, Bing & Microsoft (I think they are using Google), but the MyTrails app has them which is nice.
