Welcome to the discussion group for the My Tracks application for Android-powered phones such as the T-Mobile G1. My Tracks records outdoor activities using the phone's built-in GPS. Hopefully you've had a chance to play with the application already.  If you have not, the application shows these tracks on a map and presents live statistics including an elevation profile. And here's the best part: it lets you easily share your activities with friends and the world using Google Maps, as well as archive your training history with Google Docs.

Here's a few of the things you can do with My Tracks:

• Record and visualize GPS tracks while running, hiking, biking, skiing — or any other outdoor activity
• Get live statistics, such as total/moving time, (average) speed, distance, and elevation profile
• Send performance statistics to Google Docs to build a training history
  
• Mark places and describe activities for others to discover via Google Maps
  

My Tracks was developed as a Google 20% project. On behalf of the entire team, we hope you enjoy using this application as much as we had fun developing it. And we're looking forward to seeing all of the creative ways people use it.
