Google My Tracks app available for Google Android phones will track and record GPS info! Including elevation, speed, and lat/long. You can then upload and overlay on google maps. This is a very cool app for sledding or any other outdoor activity!
Watch the demo here http://mytracks.appspot.com/

I think most people already have a GPS unit and can upload them into a mapping program and then to Google maps/earth. I know with my Garmin 520 I can upload tracks and way points to Mapsource, see the numbres for speed and elevation, direction, lat/long etc... and then put them into Google Earth. I can also make waypoints on my computer and then load them into my 520.

I just got back from 4 days up at bearlake. I plugged in my Garmin and on google earth you could see every hill and every rock we went up and over. I love it.

Does the GPS operate independently of cell phone reception?

It's not because we are from UT and think we are better than everyone else?
