Hi Everyone!
"Commuter Hero" is like a personal traffic assistant. There's no need to check a map, scroll/zoom around to figure out which road to take to go home or work. This FREE app will tell you which major highways/road you should take.
Please search for "Commuter Hero" on google play or amazon marketplace
In fact, if you have a Bluetooth hands-free device in your car, the app will automatically announce through voice a recommended route to home/work as soon as you hop into your car.
In addition, Commuter Hero is a social traffic game. You earn points for avoiding traffic, or if you get to work/home early. The more points you earn, the higher your status in your city's scoreboard. Own your commute!
We really feel this adds great value to your everyday commute. Please try it out!
Happy commuting and drive safe out there!

I'm very pleased with Run.Gps and would definitely recommend it. It allows you to plan a route in advance and they guides you around it with spoken instructions.
I cycle with my bluetooth headphones on listening to music, and it directs you at each junction, as well as giving you any data you want and pre-set intervals.
Its a bit complicated to start with, but it does have a free trial to play around with for a bit.
Igo has cycle and pedestrian modes as well.
I have not used the cycle mode though. I've used tomtom in the past, but I'm liking the Igo alot.
Thanks I'll take a look at both of these options. I know the dedicated Garmin cycle devices are also very good
If you want off-road, I use Memory-Map, which allows you to view OS maps. You can plot your route, if you wish, and then use GPS to track - or just track anywhere! One good thing is that it gives you a profile (heights) of your route - so you know when that uphill stretch is coming! Unlike road navigation software, you don't have to stay on a road and it give you all the OS information too. Best I've seen.
I use BikeDashboard.
It's free and has all the stats, and will link up to a heart rate monitor if you have the necessary connection gubbins.
You can create your own maps in GE and import them so you can have that on display or the stats. It also offers download and upload fatures so you can analyse your performance, and will allow you to race a previous trace.

It does everything I want it to, but I'd imagine all these GPS enabled software will be limited by battery life - mine will give me about a morning's use.

I agree that memory-map is very good for walking and hiking, but haven't found it much use for cycling other than using the pc part for planning routes and reviewing afterwards.
It is also very expensive, and we're not allowed to recommend looking for warez.
Tracking various personal things is the rage these days. You can track your physical activity, sleep, money, eating and dating partner eligibility.
But what about your 'Moral fitness'? Are you doing good or bad things every day?
I am working on a new app 'Moral' that will let you track your good and bad actions and then get you a score (similar to your credit score). All information will be private and stored only on the phone with a password protection. Just like anything else, tracking is the first step towards understanding trends and then improving yourself in areas that are weak.
I think the Smartwatch is an awesome device to do this - just a quick tap of the buttons to record a good or bad action and off you go. Analyze at will later on in the phone app or eventually the website.

I would love to have a feedback. Any suggestions are appreciated. Looking forward to improving this app.
Review would be great. Please add a review so that i can improve the app.
Hey XDA'ers - I recently drove an awful trip from Connecticut the South Carolina last weekend, and I have to go back tomorrow. What I used on the way down was Google Maps/Navigation on my phone, and Waze on my tablet. My experience:
Google maps didn't route me around a ton of various traffic jams.
Twice it asked if I wanted to select a better route, which I chose, and both times it landed me in very heavy traffic that HAD to be worse than orginal route. It asked me a 3rd time, I declined, and still landed in traffic.
Google maps appears to have no route avoidance - i.e. avoid next 5 miles, or avoid this highway.
I primarily used Waze for traffic and cop notification, Waze seemed to work well for that purpose .I didn't turn on a route in Waze until almost at my destination. I heard it's navigation can take you too much off main roads though.
Google maps did seem to reflect traffic jams in red on the map, but did nothing to get me around them.
I say all this with the understanding that sometimes there are no good alternative routes around traffic, accidents, etc.
I'd be willing to pay good money for a GPS app that works well, and has good route avoidance features. I should note that I've paid for CoPilot which is supposed to do avoidance, and I've had and used for some time, but they updated their interface and I can't figure out how to do route avoidance anymore. Any guidance on CoPilot route avoidance, or another solid GPS app, would be SO very much appreciated.
Thanks a ton in advance for any feedback!!!!
