@partyrock This is totally false. Tacking OTHER PEOPLES phones are the fake ones. Tracking your own phone will give you a lot of options.
***** In Answer To The Question *******
First off- enable Find My Phone- that way your husband can track you easy in real time. It is free and easy to use.
Then you need an additional app to track your route and progress.
Personally I love TrailGuru however it is not currently in the AppStore.
Other possibilities:
Location Tracking GPS Lite for all sports, travelling, driving with offline map This one includes Australia and has a paid upgrade for more features if you like it.
I Map My Hike Not sure if it works down under but it is free so why not try it.
Pedometer Ultimate GPS+ Great reviews- a good option and again free.
I Map My Run Excellent reviews on this one.
Sports Tracker This one is focused more on training but, depending on what you are looking for might be what you need. It is, again, free. (Great reviews too!)
EveryTrail Another free possibility with an option to upgrade if you like it for more features.
RunKeeper Free and decent reviews.
Those are just a few for you to test out just to see what you think. :)
Virtual Active- BitGym Edition Okay I added this one because it cracks me up. If you are stuck indoors and are on a treadmill or elliptical this one shows you a virtual landscape to keep you from getting bored….
