We will be using the "Relay Tracker for Ragnar 2011" app during this year's Ragnar. It is an iPhone app that can also run on the iPad. The cost is $1.99, but John and I have already paid for it and we will be in separate vans. If you want the app yourself, the app has the ability to sync between multiple devices. John's app will be the master and mine will track the Van 2 progress. There is a website where our loved ones (if we have any after leave them for 33+ hours) can keep track of our progress. Here is the website. You'll some data on the website, but it looks like test data of people trying to figure out how to use the app. John and I will test the app a few times before the race.

If you do download the app, you'll need to enter the team key "A92CFD1F" under the multi-device setup and then under Race Set up, select the "Sync Data" button to get the data from John's phone.
The app doesn't have the best graphics and isn't always intuitive, but it looks like it is the best app out there for now and it sure beats the process we had last year.
