My Favorite Phone App...What's Yours By rks (Read 448 times)

I recently purchased my first smart phone, so I'm still working my way through all of it's features, capabilities, and such. It's a Motorola phone so it's Android based. 

I found, and downloaded a free app called GeoTracker, which is simply great. Not only does it map the route you've driven, with total miles traveled, (to the hundredth...32.73) but also your average speed, average speed while moving, lowest and highest elevations, steepest incline and decent angles, and elapsed time. Your speed and elevation is also charted as you ride.

Could be used for a lot of other things.....hiking, bicycles, or just to see how far you walk in a day. I even used it once while mowing the pasture with my tractor and flail mower......that sure created a goofie looking map....hit a top speed of 2.21 mph.  If you have an Android phone....check it out.

So what is your favorite app?

rks.

There is an app called Here maps (made by Nokia). It is similar to Google maps. Where it shines is that you can use your android phone give you driving directions even when you aren't connected to a phone network. It will also work connected to ta cell network.

It is free.

One limitation it has when not connected to the cell network compared to Google maps is that It doesn't optimize your trip for current traffic conditions.

Thanks, rks ! I've been looking for an app like that, that works, I'll try it!! Will try yours out too bob123456789 . I've been using SLACKER radio on my phone to play my music of choice to my helmets bluetooth. I like it much better than Pandora, too many ads and unrelated music, for my tastes. Also, have been using FUELIO to track my fill ups, gas cost and averages. Only two fill ups recorded so far so, no average yet.
