Another Reason to get Android

Okay, here’s another cool reason to get the Google G1 Android phone:

The Google G1 phone uses Android as an operating system and that system allows you to download additional programs or “apps” to your phone.

The new My Tracks application shown below is pretty cool.  It will track your route while you run, hike, walk, or bike using GPS.  It will tell you how high you climbed, how fast you went, and can help you track your data week after week!  The application is called My Tracks and is made by Google.  Other applications can/are made by third-party developers and most can be downloaded and installed free of charge.

I got a Google Android Phone a couple weeks ago.  This would have been pretty cool on our hike last year up Lone Peak.
