I'm planning an expedition...
I use Google's MyTracks for route logging, which I find fun. But it puts a high load on my phone; with MyTracks running all the time the standard battery on my phone lasts only five hours. Obviously this isn't going to work if I'm away from mains power for a week.
I'm planning to use a trailer rather than panniers. So lashing a flexible solar panel on the top of the trailer would not be a problem, and it should have ample power output. Has anyone done this? If so what sort of regulator unit did you use and where did you get it?
