Creating a map of all the places I go whilst on holiday
I am a heavy user of offline Google Maps when I'm travelling. Is there was way I can tell Google Maps to constantly monitor where I am and create a line on a map to show all my movements?
I'm pretty sure that Google Maps is always collecting this data anyway for its own purposes, so I don't think there is a privacy consideration here.
If this isn't possible with Google Maps, is there any 3rd party app that could do this? If so I would still want the map created in Google Maps format so that I could open it in My Maps.
Thanks.

Good stuff Roy, I got that to work pretty easily, and only needed three steps rather than 4.
1) This step was straightforward - I downloaded the Android app and recorded a test route easily. I found it gave other useful information too, such as elevation and pace.
2) I couldn't find a way of doing this on the Strava Android app - perhaps it's not possible - but I logged onto website and found the Export GPX option pretty easily.
3) (This step was not needed)
4) I was able to import the GPX file directly into Google MyMaps
Overall I'd say an excellent solution to my query. Thanks again.
