Thought it would be cool to share some of my favorite apps. I would love to hear about some I don't already know about.
These are not in any order.
1) Google Tracks - GPS tracker allows you to lay out point to point courses and mark highlights along the way. Good for night boating or setting a path to the best fishing spot. Google Tracks also works good for marking bouys or shoals along the way too. If you overlay it with the Google Laditude feature you can find out interesting points or information others have found in the same region (depending on the sites popularity).
2)Flash Light (HTC) - trust me, it's a must have.
3)AndroBeaufort - simple Beaufort Scale
4)Tide Prediction - starts in graph and easier to read (does not include Sun rise/set)
5)Tide App - starts in text table and includes Sun rise/set
6)FloatPlanGenerator.com - Website Bookmark. Once you've registered you can check in from the phone.
7)"BUMP". This allows you to bump anyone else whom has a droid, you litterally tap their phone with yours and exchange files, contacts, apps, ringtone's, or anything you want... its awsome, you can even exchange contact with I-phone users.
8)Scanner Radio... this allows you to listen to any scanners in the U.S.A...cool.
9)Talk To Me..... this app is unreal, it lets you speak into your phone, then says what you said in a different language of your choice...it has languages I've never even heard of before.
10)Yelp... this app tells you what is in the area. It finds your GPS location and then tells you all the hotels, gas stations, stores, resturants, etc.
11)Weatherbug... this is my favorite weather app.
12)Radar Now... Like weatherbug, but a nicer looking radar.
13)Pandora.... This is a killer music app... you can choose the genre of music you enjoy.. it will play it, then if a song you don't like comes on you push the thumbs down... it will never play the disliked song again.
14)Scilor's Grooveshark Mobile. This app lets you search any song or artist. After a list comes up, simply click on the song. Now go to the play list and it's there. All songs are streaming so you'll need a signal to play, but this app is awesome!
15)Car Locator. It's a GPS "back track" to your car.. but in our case, back to the marina you left from.
16)Timeriffic. Turns on/off phone settings by times. (ie. "no ringer" from 10 pm til 6 am.. etc)
17)Where's My Droid. You set a 'secret password' so that when you misplace your phone, you can text your password to your phone (either internet or someone elses phone) and it turns on/up the ringer and goes crazy until you find it.
