Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Question re Skiline and general GPS usage

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Have an iPhone on 3 network. Silly question - does it cost me money to use GPS in Austria? Same question re Skiline. Have downloaded the app as Niederau is one of the resorts you can use it in. Or should I just let the Skiline thing work with the lift pass?

No data charges if using the gpa only. When you start viewing maps online it'll rinse it, however.

Skiline works pretty well in Niederau:

No need to use a GPS solution - you don't even need a phone!

Hi Guys, if you're looking for a low cost GPS for skiing that costs nothing to use and tells you where you've been, how fast, how far can I suggest you take a look at our product gtrek.co.uk.

It should just use GPS therefore no data charge.

As you are with 3 if you go to 'my3 account' on there website you can turn off international data roaming, so it blocks you from accessing the internet when outside of the UK.

I know alex_heney, but I was countering the ad mentioned by BB and as listed by nutwood.... But think the best you can get from a Iphone GPS app is about 7hrs good use then your battery is flat andthen you can only make emergency calls... my gps data logger works for over 15 hrs on one charge.

Using Ski Tracks and an iPhone4 recording GPS did not leave my battery flat after 7 hours. Generally it was still (just) in the green at the end of the skiing day so still a way to go before flat.
