MapMyRide. It's intended for bikes but I think it should track just fine.

Great suggestion, thanks! The lessons are two hours and sometimes I come across an intersection, roundabout or complex interchange road that are really confusing and for some reason I can't find them back in Google maps.
Now I just know that when TomTom tells me to go to "S102", I most likely need to get to the left side of the road asap before an overpass. The navigator, signs, and road marks are too confusing. An example: I need to get onto a freeway, read the signs, the destination is not on the signs, what is the alternative destination, S102, where is it on the signs, can't see it, read the signs, stay in the right lane, don't go right, go left! (change three lanes to the left in heavy traffic) why don't you read the signs, didn't you see the sign? Um, no, the closest number I saw was S103
I passed that crazy interchange two times now and just don't get where the roads are going to, I don't even get where exactly the location is, that clearly needs to change.
