The answers are related. The strap is actually a flat bungie cord that holds my jury-rigged GPS mount in place.... see http://www.triumphrat.net/sprint-for...?highlight=GPS

For the map, I simply turned on the track-log function on my Garmin 2730, then uploaded that data to Google Earth Plus. I then rotate the map to a pleasing angle, and snap a screen-cap.

Now I have identified an advantage to having a dedicated GPS device as my phone integrated model can't upload data like that.
