I don't know if anyone has posted this, but if you have a phone with Android, check out "My Tracks". You can use your GPS to record where ever you go; i.e. you can record what roads you drive on.

Basically, when I find an unexpected sweet road and want to remember where it is, I pull over and turn on track recording. After the road is over, I shut it off. The map is saved and it syncs with your "My Maps" on google maps. You can then keep track of all the awesome roads you run into or share them with friends.

Android also has whats called "foot prints"...take a picture of a scene/house or whatever and it tracks where you were and how to get back to that exact location...same concept, but yours has a map associated with it...Cool info

Also look for GPS2Google... it creates tracks you can overlay on to Google Earth, and then run through your route "virtually" from there. Pretty cool.
