Hi Chris, I have used one called MyWay Classic. I have used it to mark a path in a park where I take my guide dog for a walk. You lay down a path of electronic breadcrumbs for a route. For example I marked the starting point, with several other points added as I made turns. Went back after doing the route to add comments at home for future use.
Hope that helps a little.
