GPS Tracker

[traster85]

Anyone know a good tracker for jogging/biking? I've tried Sporty pal, Cardio Tracker and Buddy Runner and they all mess up. Emailed the makers with no fix yet. Anybody got a secret one I should know about?

You could try:

Google My Tracks? My Tracks - Android app on AppBrain

SportsTracker? SportsTracker - Android app on AppBrain

I've used them both. They are not 100% accurate, but close enough. I don't use them often - usually only when I am running a new route, which I have never run before. Both are free; SportsTracker has a Pro version as well.

Google My Tracks is the best but it still isn't great... Definitely give yourself 5 minutes to get a good GPS lock before recording a new track...

It generally takes me about 30-60 seconds to get 6 satellites for a good lock. Aren't I lucky.

That's been my experience as well.

30 to 60 seconds is pretty good if you ask me, I have tracker Booster that you can find on the market, it takes now around 30 - 60 sec. for me
Anyway, there is new version of SportyPal 1.7.7 and the beta for their pro version which you might like as well SportyPal Pro - Part 1

I've been happy with RunKeeper. Just be sure to turn on gps before you run it. It doesn't always work from inside the app.

Try MyWay Tracker
it is simple widget-based application where you can view your ways on google maps
