I was recently looking for a decent blogging application for my iPhone to keep my sailing blogs up2date while offshore.
The requirements include posting of text and photos and keep a tracking map, so my friends and family at home can follow my progress. I stumbled upon a nice solution, that doesn't require you to install an app.
The IPhone 3G as capable of geotagging your photos by using the internal GPS receiver. The TripSailor site ( http://www.tripsailor.com ) allows you to update your sailing blog via email. That's not so special, but one feature is quite interesting for us IPhone owners. The site analyses the geotags in the photos and draws your route on a Google map

What's really cool about the IPhone - you can write your email if your not connected to the internet. It will keep your emails in the outbox. As soon as you're back in the harbor or somewhere nearshore where you have internet connection it will send the emails and update your blog.
