## What is gibbyTrip?

gibbyTrip is designed to track your travels to the SpotWalla website.  Simply open up the app and start tracking yourself.  Your location will be uploaded to the SpotWalla website where friends and family can keep tabs on your fun adventures.

If you are out of internet range then your location information will be buffered.  Once you have internet connection again gibbyTrip will upload the buffered locations to SpotWalla.

You also have the ability to take a picture and upload it directly to SpotWalla.  You can also retrieve your last 100 locations and upload a picture to that location.

gibbyTrip will work in the background or you can choose to keep gibbyTrip from going to sleep.  The choice is up to you.

You will need to create an account on SpotWalla before using my app.  For details please visit my website for details.

WARNING: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
