GPS and HTC Touch HD

I've got an HTC Touch HD and use it to listen to music while running (good phone by the way). I thought it would be good to use the built-in GPS to log my route and load the results up to MapMyRun or Google Maps, so I went on the hunt for some free software that I could try.

A little searching later and I found WMMiniGPS. It logs your position at a configurable time interval and allows you to export it to KML or GPX format. Google Maps accepts KML and MapMyRun takes GPX so it seems to fit the bill!

I gave it a try this weekend and it did the job fine. The only issue I had was leaving it running in the background seemed to cause Windows Media Player to stutter a little sometimes.

Once I'd uploaded the results, both MapMyRun and Google Maps showed the route and distance travelled. I was hoping that MapMyRun could use the plotted points to work out my speed over various sections, and record my total time. But apparently it doesn't have that functionality.
