No really it is syncing all of your google data, mail, contacts, reader, books, market, voice, search history.
Same thing happens on the PC but google isnt kind enough there to tell you its happening.
its actually the way the New World Order keeps track of you.

Is there an app, like, i.e. GPS Sports Tracker, that can be used together with Google Maps?
Or do you know if I can use CoPilot Live for tracking (and not only for navigation)?
Thanks!

Try Sportypal! It is free and good.
Trackme uses Google maps and is free.
Works fine on HD2 and has geo-fence. Just search XDA.

Maybe you also wanna try MaspWare GPSmeter. It is not free but it is really worth it's money. Maybe it is a bit too much for someone's needs. I LOVE it!

Eehm...TrackMe , of course!
I used "Trackme" on my Tilt and now have it on HD2.
I use it on my boat at night as an anchor drag alarm. Set the geo-fence for twice the distance of the length of my anchor line. Mark the position when I first drop the anchor. Phone moves outside the circle and it sends me a text message that sets off an alarm.
Also you can get it to send a text or email with position by sending the phone a text message with a custom message created by you. Good to find your phone if lost.
Also when we leave the boat for the day we leave one phone on the boat and it will text us if the boat moves from a pre-determined circle. Text or email has a link to a google map showing the track since started.
Your Apps that you would show people that are interested in your phone..
I just got mine and have a good amount so far and always looking for more..
Here are mine so far.......
Floating images..
I love the way it lays the pictures as if they were scattered on a coffee table, and as it "floats" by you can click a picture to see it bigger..
Totally cool
Instant Heartrate
Just like it says, it accurately (The few times I checked) checks your heart rate by "lightly" putting your finger on the camera lens.. It was accurate each and every time I compared it to my real HB monitor.
Barcode Scanner/google shopper
Both do about the same thing, only google shopper will scan image as well as bar code, kinda cool.
Those are some of the many I have tried, but I am sure there are more.
So what are your go to apps to show off with?
The "Pure" widgets. Especially to iPhone owners.

Can your iPhone/iPod do this?....open up MusicJunk3 and start downloading mp3's for free, then open up gmob and download some pirated apps, browse a few YouTube pages all at the same time....they're like, oh wow FLASH! Also go into recovery and flash a font on a whim, then a theme, flash it all back to normal again...can your iPhone do that? Um well no...ok then. Hey what movie should I download for you, I have a torrent client and I dont need to worry about data caps...Iron Man 2? Ok good call! Well watch it on my EVO since it has a bigger brighter screen. Video games? I have a few, but lets grab a 12 pack and go to my place and play some Halo Reach on my 53'' screen.
I was showing off my EVO to my dad, Google nav in satellite view and the sky maps and he was pretty impressed, but he's not as much of a phone geek as I am. My mama is too attached to Blackberry to care lol

Hey, hows the slingbox work on 3g? Of course using SD, but does it work "ok" for the most part?
well its not out just yet but if your savy enough you'll find a way to get it
vlingo. it takes speach recognition to an entirely new level
put it in car mode and it waits for you to say the catch phrase its waiting for then
it pops on and awaits your command, call, text, nav, search
blows me away at how accurate it is
this is what we all thought speach rec software was going to be, cant wait till its finished
for me currently, when in bluetooth mode, if i turn bluetooth device off before
killing bt on my evo it will force a restart

Anyone figured out yet how to change the distance units in Places? Everything else is in metric, but I get the damn distances Places in ****ing miles.
also where do you put filter on Google map search?
eg how can I limit search
oh wait there is a little icon down the bottom left which shows me the search list page.
and yes I see the distance is in eerr.. miles.. I mean who uses that old system..

Indeed, latitude is in miles as well.
...and google still has yet to update the android maps API. The google map-kit for iPhone is still light years ahead of the android.
It's impossible to write a decent map app that performs anywhere near as well as google maps.
I would like to see my own layers. Pics of my kids doing stuff at parks, skateboarding, etc. That would be pretty cool. Point at the ocean and see my kid do an off the top on a wave from last spring. Hah.
Just a thought.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
You can do that now. You just can't get information about individual map tiles, even something as simple as onMapFinishedLoading() doesn't exist. That means your layers will (often) load before the map is loaded, which looks like crap.
Thank you very much.I Like it
Curious. Does it pull xif data from Picasa for the image overlay? You would think that would be pretty easy to pull off. I mean I would subscribe to other folks layers to see what they do, where they go,etc. So, if I follow a skateboarder and he shares his layer I can see what trick he did at places I also skate. Video embed would be even more awesome.

I installed a NAND rom and was great, but it lacks of most of google apps like Gmail and Google Maps...
When I use Google Talk video chat, I switched from front camera to back camera, and now it looks like the video box is sliding off the screen. Even when I switched back to front cam, same thing. Seems related to the accelerometer, because when I shake the tablet, the video box moves. Anyone else having this issue??
Dunno if it is what I'm thinking, but try sliding the hand all the way to the left.

Newsr had a couple of problems that I will report to the developer but I was wondering if there is an app that can mark as read while you scroll instead of clicking on each feed to mark as read.
Thanks!

Taptu for me. Tried the others and they don't seem so easily customisable and simple yet slick to use.
I'm quite enjoying Pulse. It can import your Google Reader feeds (although it can't export its own feeds back to Reader), and for any feeds you have in both Reader and Pulse, the has-been-read flag will be synced.

You can actually get it to sync? I've tried it several times and all I get is to check network connectivity.
Personally I've yet to find one I really like.
Feedly doesn't seem to sync fully or quickly for me. There have been times that I know I've read an article already and it still shows up. Also I find the layout kind of non-intuitive. When I hit "home" on it I keep getting back to different places.
Retab has a better layout, if a bit crude at the higher levels. Once I'm in a section though it does flow nicely. The problem again is that it doesn't sync or track the read state between levels. If I go into my "android" reader folder and read all of the articles it still shows I have unread when I go back up to the top level until I hit refresh.
News360 is cool looking but dead in the water for me. Twitter and Facebook are the dumbest places to look if you're trying to predict what I like to read. How about, oh I don't know, my google reader account? No? Ok, I'll take a look again when you decide that I can decide what I want to read on my own.
My real issue with all of the tablet readers is that they've all focused on being "different" with their look and feel and have failed with the basic fucntion of getting my news and keeping it organized efficiently. That's probably why I keep going back to NewsRob. It's butt ugly on a tablet, but it syncs appropriately and uses local cacheing so the whole damn list doesn't re-load every time I open the app.

Please do let me know what those issues are, so I can fix them.
I have a beta right now that improves the "mark all as read" performance in a serious way.

I sent you a PM about those. Not sure if you received it.
The bugs are:
1) In portrait mode, the app still shows the three columns.
2) Feeds that are in other languages (right-to-left) display the div/html code in title bar.
Thanks!
Is there any chance you could make Newsr sync items that are shared by my contacts under the contact name as a separate feed as per the Google Reader website? Currently the only way to see them is by looking at "All Items".
Also, can you make Newsr sync read items as well as unread? Sometimes I accidentally mark something as read and then want to go back to read it again. I can't seem to do this with Newsr.

I second this.
Also, I just discovered the open-article-with-inapp-browser button. How about loading all links in-app instead of opening the Browser? Example: digg articles.
+1 for Pulse here as well. I'm loving the interface and search function.
Pulse is no good if you have lots of friends in Google who share things and you want to share stuff with them.
The integration isn't there, it just grabs the feeds and that's it.
