Default GPS track logger

Do any of you use a GPS track/trip logger for iPhone? I would like to be able to return from a days ride and see where I have been. It would be great to be able to view it on the computer, like with google maps. Any suggestions?

also what do you use to hold your iPhone?

I use a camera with a built in GPS. Take a pic on gas stops etc and upload to picasa. Works great.

I use a iPhone app called GPS Kit Free. It does exactly what your looking for. Here is the app link for it.

I use Ulysse Speedometer and it's great. The paid version ($1.99) has a track feature that allows you to export your tracks with speed and altitude data. I import right into Google Earth and save the files.

This program also has lot's of other neat features and is where I realized that at 30 my speed is off by 1 mph and at 70, I'm off by 3.5 mph. I'm also short 4.4 distance miles per 100 traveled. And to verify these, I used a garmin handheld and they matched dead on to my phone.

EDIT:

Here's one from last night:
