Strava is a useful GPS app that is free for the iPhone. Turn it on and it will track you as you run, bike, or walk and then compare results with other Strava users. The result of the tracking is a map that can also be embedded into a website. The default embed option uses an iframe, and has all the relevant Strava data linked. Here is an example:
Sometimes it is useful to have this data outside of Strava. Instead of using the above embed you can manually import the .GPX into Google Classic Maps or Google Earth. Once into another system it is easy to add other segments, combine different routes, add points of interest or generally look at the data without remembering how slowly you walked or ran it.
