Looking for a tool or application that will help me track distance covered while kayaking / kayak-sailing. Any suggestions would be nice. Thanks

I use my fish finder that has a built in GPS.
You could also use you cell phone.

Thanks for the info, will use my Apple watch and then when I get a fish finder, will make sure it is GPS enabled.

Been using MAPMYWALK for a long time with satisfaction. Tracks routes, speeds, times, etc...
