Any suggestions / favorites in terms of "Running" applications?
I downloaded the "run.gps" trial, but it's not great. It seems to have a problem with the GPS sensor.
Anyway, there are a number of apps on the market, but I can't seem to find a good, comprehensive list or any reviews, and I was hoping to find a few suggestions from forum members, but I can't seem to find search terms that produce any results.
Thanks!
Buddy Runner by Cooloud. Elevation seems way off but I'm not interested in that. I've tried a few and thats the one I'm sticking with.
I use cardio trainer, i found that the best allthough i had stop the pedometer coming on because it was not very accurate when i have the phone on the waist. Also the gps is not as accurate as a garmin it seems to gain distance for some reason, oh and also it dosnt show splts. So basicly although it fairly good its not great and i have tried a few of them. I got ideas for a app like this and gonna have a crack at doing one but i am only learning so i am not absolutly sure i can do it but if i can it will be perfect for me anyway.
I use sportypal (free) it gives you options for all sorts of activities running, bikes etc. Also maps it for you. Pretty cool app

Yes I use sportypal also, for running is very professional and accurate with showing the pace while running, the speed, distance, time ...
And after finishing is very easy to upload the track with one button click or share across the social networks.

Maybe others don't have this problem, but sometimes when I come out of a pub/club in London after celbrating another glorious Scottish footballing victory, I have no idea where I am. It's nice to rely on Google maps and my GPS to help me out (assuming my diminished brain functions are up to it), but on the Orange 30MB tariff that blows goats.
Has anyone found a nice cheap/free alternative that would give us city street maps in storage and integrate with the GPS too?

GPS starts at $99 USD for a full blown system. then it's yours for life. sure it's not free, but it's not that bad either.

Perhaps limit your post football rampages to pubs that offer free WiFi?

Hehehe. Sorry, I neglected to say that I need the software primarily for going by foot and tracking my position!
I find that TomTom aint that hot when you're going by foot.
Like the pic Mike. Hopefully we'll get some more similar ones from Switz/Austria. ;-)
If I were you, I am English and probably wont have to travel much after events in Moscow , I would cough up to Orange for a SIM unlock and then stick a T-Mobile PAYG SIM in it and be happy that for a maxiumum of £1 per day I would have "unlimited" mobile data.
Memory Map uses offline maps but they are £££ unless you go looking in the dark side of the Interweb. If you have Autoroute on your PC you can install Pocket Streets. These last 2 options involve you manually preinstalling the map areas you will need. I have found that the size of map needed is directly proportional to Alcohol intake
I was just given a newish 17" LCD (VGA) for free. I'm already using both ports on my PC, so what can I use it for? Obviously I could sell it, but I'm wondering about other uses:
- Video game console if I pickup a converter?
- Some sort of info display in my bedroom? (easy, cheap way to display headlines, current weather, etc.?)
- neat-o big ass digital picture frame?
What else? Also, does anyone have any leads on the above? What say you?
Use it as your PPC's monitor, drag it around town, woooooohooooo!!!!
Or as a door greeter:

if u can build pc make a car pc
17 is WAYY too big for a carpc, im using an 8in and thats huge considering your only 1 foot away from the screen. if i were you i would put in next to your current monitor and put ur music player and stuff like that on that screen while u use the main screen for web browsing and what not.
What I'd really love is a Chumby like device or the WidgetStation (which I don't know if it will ever come out...)
I could re-create it using a small Linux system, but it's the hardware I don't have a clue about. I envision now waking up to this display near my bed, on it are some "widgets" with weather, time, some RSS feeds, etc.
That would be sweet...
That's not a bad idea ChaOConnor. I like having everything right there when I wake up also.

I do like this idea. I may have to ponder it for myself.
Oh And ON that Note....
Hey all,
Are there any programs for runners that I can use for my fuze? Specifically, something like a GPS program that will track my route/distance/speed. I've heard this kinda thing exists for other phones, but not heard about this phone.
Thanks.

i bought a Nike+ for my ipod smh
truthfully there are a lot more of them:

sorry you had to resort to an iPod...I just puked a little thinking about it
Thanks! Just what I was looking for.
SportyPal is quite good, I'm using it for cycling(very good), but i read now on some thread that for running they have added to show the pace in real time with also all the other tools for measuring speed, distance, calories ...
try RUN.GPS, works very fine on mine.

+1 for SportyPal (sportypal.com). I use it to track my kayak trips down the rivers in the panhandle. It will overlay your path on an aerial photograph and has links with Facebook, so you can share it.
Sportypal is my program of choice. During the cross country season I can give my phone to one of my lead runners and track their pace during intervals and can also tuck it in my jersey pocket when I go on bike rides and have all that data at hand as well. Best thing? It's FREE!
check out endomondo. very nice and free.

I got an e-mail from them, that very soon they will have the option to choose the workout type from the phone as kayaking, rowing or some other interesting type of sports.
I dont think anyone mentioned G-Watch which I have found to be excellent for just what you described.

Some new types of workouts are added:
skiing, rowing, horse riding, driving, flying, sailing, swimming, hiking, paragliding, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, surfing

Suggestions are welcome!
Took a look as I was curious as to what happened in my local area around the last weekend. Hallowen is always a good time to be looking at pictures of a location; so many great costumes, etc.
However...
Installed the app. No settings changed. Press the search box, type in "Mannhe", get Mannheim, Germany as an option, press it, and the whole app crashes.
I am running an unrooted Galaxy Note 4.
Like the concept of the app, and it's a simple enough and clean interface... I just can't actually use it.
