eBird Mobile for iOS took a big step forward this week: the ability to automatically record 'tracks' that map precisely where you go eBirding. Every time you start a checklist on eBird Mobile on Android or iOS, you can now keep a GPS track of where you go for your traveling counts.

The 'tracks' automatically calculate distance traveled and time spent eBirding—all you have to do is watch birds! This is an important new chapter in eBird, opening the door for many exciting new future tools: improved research that can use the actual path you birded, eBird data outputs that show the precise path of any given checklist, and much more. Plus, it makes your birding even easier.
