Google My Tracks is a new application from Google that will surely get cyclists and runners excited. It currently only supports Android powered devices. The application uses GPS to track your outdoor activities and in the process records your tracks, which you can easily share with your friends. Google My Tracks also displays other statistics including elevation, speed, and distance statistics, though will prove a lot more useful if it can measure more statistics such as calories burnt. You can also export your tracks as a GPX file and easily import it into Excel or Twitter your tracks directly from the phone with Twidroid.

The new "my tracks" app looks really cool! I have been using the app CardioTrainer for a couple months and then sharing by exporting into my maps (CT provides an exportable kml that you can send to my maps — same place as my tracks). Just wondering if anybody has used both apps? …I feel like CardioTrainer is more for actual training and my tracks is just a GREAT standard gps tracking app. They're both in the Lifestyles section of the market. What do you think?!
here's a link to the CardioTrainer page incase you want to give that a try too!

..i find the CardioTrainer audio cues really helpful during a long run!

it'd be funny to in a car and see how many calories you would have burned at 100km per hour lol

Be interesting to see if any mainstream outdoors gps manufacturers add in some google interfaces as well as cell phones.
