[pct-l] Charging iPhone on trail

[Jim Keener ( J J )]

Hey Skyward,

Perhaps I should be more specific about use and batteries. I keep the  
iPhone on almost all day - usually in Airplane mode - so I have it  
ready as a camera.

On breaks, I check my location using MotionX GPS and Halfmile's  
waypoints. I sometimes listen to music at night.

I carry a battery/recharger that provides about 80% of a full charge.

By the way, Bill Burge has convinced me to give the Topo app another  
try.
