Hi Alex! 
I am glad to see your entry in my guestbook.  :-) 

With my outdoor-phone MOTOROLA DEFY+ I use the App "OpenStreetMap for ANDroid", short: OSMAND. 
You can install a cost-free version of OSMAND by Google Play. I found out, that also the Russian OpenStreetMaps are up to date and well detailed. 

You can download cost-free maps here: http://download.osmand.net/rawindexes/list.php   
Because you use downloaded maps, you don't need an internet-connection for your route-navigation. But when you have an internet-connection, your phone can send by OSMAND your actual GPS position at regular time intervals to any web-page. So a real-time tracking is made very easy!  
I used the real-time tracking during TransRussia 2012. So my friends and relatives could see my progress ...and my standstill! 

I don't know, whether I did answer your question enough. If not, please Alex, feel free to ask more!  I am glad to tell you my experience.  :-) 

I have seen that TransRussia 2013 is even more interesting and much more demanding. Because of not yet quite cured consequences of my accident last year, TransRussia 2013 probably is too large for me. 
I will be glad, if this year, I can finish London-Edinburgh-London. :-)   

Have a pleasant day too!  

...and have a lot of fun in plenty of snow!  :-))

In the moment I go to the physiotherapy, so that my
body becomes flexible again.  :-)
