Helpful Apps for Rally etc.

Pardon me if this is discussed elsewhere, but my searching turned up naught.

I got the full version of Speedometer/SportsTrackLive for my android phone today($10); pretty cool. It does a ton of stuff for tracking driving. For example, my long-route to the grocery store tonight. You can hit 'play' and see my route/speed as a series of points (a little choppy) or just see the route in general. The app has might have some good uses, especially for organizing a fun-drive.

So what other fun/useful apps for driving/rally are people using? Race Ace?

here is an example of the route I took home tonight (http://www.sportstracklive.com/track/map#abingtonrally/Driving/84864/full). Area is very hilly, typical northeast CT, with narrow roads ~1.5-2 lanes wide with 60' hardwoods on either side for most of it = more difficult satellite coverage. It seems the app performed well and was reading between 7 and 9 satellites for the majority.

For those that worry about Big Brother etc., there is a feature to 'clean' the track so that all points above any MPH you specify are deleted. :eyebrows:
