Has anyone ever tried this software?

Also need to figure out how long my mogul will run with the GPS. Need it to last 4+ hours.
Won't run for 4 hours... unless you're careful. I do endurance cycling (4+ hour rides) and use VisualGPS to create a log file which I then upload to one of the many Google Maps mashups that are available on the Internet to analyze the data and see where I've been. You have to be able to set the sample time of how often the GPS app queries the hardware.... the default on VisualGPS is like 1 second when writing the log file, which quickly drained the battery in less than 2 hours. Then again, I'm also playing music through the earbuds too.

Again, the key is to find a GPS app that allows you to set the sampling interval.
