Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a route logging system. The route logging system includes a geographic location server, a user profile server, a mobile client device, and image recording device(s). The geographic location server has access to a waypoint database. The user profile server has access to a user profile database, which includes a plurality of user profiles each including at least one route log. Each route log includes at least one waypoint image. The mobile client device is associated with one or more of the plurality of user profiles included in the user profile database. When the mobile client device determines it is within a threshold distance of a specific geographic position, the mobile client device updates the respective route log. The one or more image recording device(s) record waypoint images that can be included in route logs and associated with specific geographic positions.
