Most GPS units have a means to record a track. You start the track, then walk, run, ride or drive your trail. The gps will make will copy your trail on the map called a track. On my Garmin I can then up load the track to my PC and store it for future reference. Then I can pull it up anytime I have a need. On some units it is referred to as "bread Crumbs".

first of you will need to set your route setting to walk
here is how to do that.
1. press menu
2. press more
3. press setting
4. select route setting
5. press vehicle
6. select pedestrian for walking trails
once you have done that your gps will give you all routes specifically for walking, running, or jogging.
now the cool part.
1. press trip monitor
2. press record
now your routes will be recorded. you can change your recording settings if you like. there are too many of them. after your route is recorded you can export it to a micro sd card and share it with your friends, put it on your computer, or make an archive of your favorite routes. keep in mind i am using a newelectronx primo gps. your gps maybe a little different but the gist of it is certainly the same.

If you don’t have one yet, “Trail” GPS receivers often log.
You can get standalone GPS loggers, which load tot he computer over USB or Bluetooth.
