Everytrail, a platform for sharing GPS tracks, trips and associated geotagged content, has raised $1 million in Series A financing, according to Techcrunch. Everytrail, owned by GlobalMotion Media, has also released Everytrail 3 for the iPhone today with over 200, 000 shared trips to explore and the capability to share your own. You can also share your trips on Facebook and Twitter.
The funding was raised from the Band of Angels as well as domestic and international private investors. I’m not sure exactly how the funding will be used as Everytrail has already built out many desktop features and mobile apps since it first launched in October 2006. Staff expansion, possibly. In addition to its iPhone application, it also has apps available for Android, Blackberry and Windows Mobile.
The mobile apps, especially Everytrail 3 for the iPhone, are extremely simple to use. It’s just a matter of pressing a Start button in order to begin GPS tracking. While it tracks, users are able to upload photos and textual user-generated content. This eliminates the time-based synchronization hassles required for adding pictures to some GPS trackers.
You can download Everytrail 3 for the iPhone now from the App Store.
