Just like with Iphone...it would be up to an app vendor to build/publish such an app. I would be very surprised if such an app is not already available.

You might want to look into the Garmin Etrex or some kind of other GPS logger that can run for 12hrs+ if you're expecting to shoot for more than 2hrs with a GPS logger running.

) to write GPS info into sidecar files. I just make sure my 7D's clock is as close as possible to the phone clock. Works pretty well.
