Apps:

If you don’t have an app for creating GPS maps of your walks or runs, you might consider MapMyWalk (Links to an external site.) or Track My Journey

I will sometimes ask you to mark things on a map, and myMapNotes (Links to an external site.) might be helpful (or you can also draw on a physical map).
