Get iPhone location data into a Google Maps

I am looking to develop a feature for a browser app I am developing. I was hoping to get any advice on this topic:

  1. A user walks around with their iphone.

  2. During this time location data is recorded of their walk

  3. This data can then be exported to Google Maps and I can see the route overlaid on a Google Map in my browser.

Is this possible? Where would I start and how would the data be recorded?

Yes, this is possible (assuming you want to use Javascript as it is tagged to your question).

Getting the location data on an iPhone is possible, see this question. You can use the Google Maps API to display a map and draw the recorded path on it. I would rather display the walked route direct in your app rather than exporting/importing coordinates of the recorded route.

Before implementing the App, I would take a look on both Google Maps API and OpenStreemMap API to find out which you like more and fits your needs best. Playing with some examples before implementing your app might be a good point to start with.
