I’ve just discovered the greatest Android app yet. It’s called My Tracks, and it records your movements via GPS and presents you with both real-time stats as well as a summary at the end. Obviously if I’m cycling, I can’t see how fast I’m going, but I can gather some interesting stats about my journey. Below is what My Tracks gathered about my route into work and plotted the track against Google Maps:

And some stats about that journey:
Total milage: 7.56 miles
Moving time: 34 minutes
Average moving speed: 13.39mph
Elevation gain: 137m
Min. Elevation: 74m
Max. Elevation: 152m
Now, I’ve just got to find the right camera mount and borrow the work’s Sony HXR-MC1P camera (the same kind that Robert Llewellyn uses for his Car Pool show) to record the journey in glorious HD.
