Tracking animals using your Iphone

I would like to add onto Thursday's post about animal tracks. I had received a comment from Jody "The Hunter's Wife" and she had mentioned about this guy she knows from tweeter that could be helpful and gave me his website address to check out.

The site is called "My Nature Site" and he has made it so you can look up animal track and stats right on your iphone. Please take a minute to view his Youtube video.



Animal Tracks

MyNature Animal Tracks is now available for the iPhone and iPod touch. We are pleased to offer the first comprehensible field guide to animal track identification available with smart-phone technology. You’ll be able to identify from the smallest Weasel to the largest Grizzly Bear found throughout North America at the touch of a button.


After viewing this I sure wish I had an iphone because this is one handy item to have for any outdoorsman or wildlife novice.

pretty neat little app. hopefully there will be somebody out there that keeps making outdoor related apps. i don't have an iphone (yet), but can appreciate how the technology brings some really great content and tools into the palm of your hand!

How cool is that! Makes you wonder what they'll come up with next.

What a great idea!
I'll have to tell my son about it. He has an iPod.

Twisted Fencepost, I would tell him he might like that feature.

troutrageous1, I don't have one either and wish I did.

Tipper, I know. By the time I can afford an Iphone it will probably be outdated.

Carletta, you are not alone.

Thanks for sharing. Jeff is a good guy and it really is a nice little app to have for your phone.

Rick,Thank you for the mention of the App on your blog it's great to get some exposure from people that I have never even met. Jody has really been a help to me in that area and I was lucky to meet her on Twitter. Oddly enough I myself don't even have an iPhone I have the iTouch which does everything the iPhone does except make calls and it's much cheaper since there are no monthly fees. This should be out on the Droid phone in a couple weeks. Thanks again for the blog post and good luck in the woods. Jeff

Jeff, you are welcome. That is a very neat app you came up with and I almost want to go out and buy me one of those.
