>>GPS is really handy to pull tracks off at the end of the day, stash 'em with my photos. That'll let me geotag photos from any camera of mine based on timestamps, or go back and pre-trip an area in google earth from old GPS tracks.>What do you mean?Unload, start the day at the truck. GPS on while the sled's warming up, drop a waypoint and name it "Truck", turn on track logging.
I go ride. Through the trees, up the mountains, down the mountains, across the meadows, etc - GPS is taking points and writing it to user memory and SD card. Usually don't even pay attention to it, it's just there on my dash. Take a few pics along the way, or grab some off my helmet cam.
When I get home, I download all the pics off my cameras to the computer. Also plug in GPS and download that data - waypoints and tracks mainly.
Bunch of software out there that can mate a time-stamped photo (exif) with the time-stamp in a GPS track log.
Or, like last year ... Did a photo shoot with a few people from $gearCompany.
>pic relatedThey had never been on a snowmobile before. So 4 new riders, and 3 of us strong riders. Because $reasons, they had picked the place. It's not an area I ride regularly, but I had ridden there in 2010. So it'd been a few years.
Dug up tracks from that ride in 2010, was able to re-familiarize myself with that area. Parking lots, staging areas, play areas, terrain traps, areas to avoid, cabins/resources available should something happen.
Distilled that data down and threw those waypoints into my GPS, so I'd have it when I was riding.
Long story outside the scope of this thread, but shit did happen, and it was very helpful to have knowledge of the area and "outs" from where we were.
Pre-tripping is important, and it's even more important when you're a group-lead.
