I vote for “My Tracks” for GPS! It’s the best for my business. I need to track my travels and put in waypoint markers for locations.
This app needs work! It has a bug when uploading multiple maps to Gooogle maps! They don’t combine and overlay properly. Please give them money and help them win.

They need to make more contests like this, to encourage developers to focus on Android app development. Right now, the iPhone is just so much more lucrative to develop for and thats the problem for developers! This contest is definitely a step in the right direction.
