MotionX-GPS recently tracked the 2009 GVI Volcano Charity Challenge in Guatemala. Seventeen "challengers" and three guides from Old Town Outfitters set off on the six day volcano climbing challenge to raise money for the Phoenix Project in Guatemala. Pacaya volcano, with its river of lava was first up, a great hike across hardened lava. Santa María was next, followed by Tajumulco, the highest volcano in Central America at over 13,700 feet, and finally to Lake Atitlán's San Pedro for the fourth and final summit. Daniel Ponce-Taylor, one of the challengers in the event, brought MotionX-GPS loaded on his iPhone to track the climbs. "I have been using MotionX to its full potential. It's been a great tool, and really accurate," said Taylor. The new Map Storage functionality in MotionX-GPS 9.0 is ideally suited for this type of "off-the-grid" activity, where the closest cell tower may be many miles away. Users can easily select and download maps of an area before they leave on a journey away from cellular signals or WiFi connections. About Fullpower/MotionX
