Need app for my droid

I had been using Mapmywalk on my android, but it no longer "finds"a GPS signal.  Frustrating.  I've done everything it suggests in trouble shooting, but nothing works.  It worked find until I installed an upgrade.  UGH! 

So, what do you use, if any?  I really liked being able to track my route and distance when it worked. I will go to the website when I get home to enter the route I took, but  I vary my walk around town considerably, so I sometimes forget which streets I turned on.  Ok, I'm old and can;t remember sic****o I need my droid to do it for me.  lol

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.

Give Endomondo a shot. i tried both and ended up using Endomondo more. they both have there positives and negatives but if you cannot get mapmywalk to work that is an option. i would be more concerned though if the phone is not picking up gps. see if the built in navigation is working. when i went to ice cream sandwich i actually had to get them to swap my phone for another due to problems. It works fine for me now but may have to do the same if gps still continues to fail.

Thanks.  I''ve ínstalled Endomondo.  If it doesn't pick up the signal, I'll give someone a call about it.  But I did check my phone's navigation GPS signal and it zoomed right in to where I am, so not sure why the apps won't.

Plus 3 Network has an app that maps your walk/run/bike ride too. And, if you upload it to their web site, you get credit towards the charity of your choice!

Hi Ms Shell!  I get so frustrated with them when they won't work.  I can always come back home and map it out on my computer, but I would rather my phone do it while I'm going.  I can then look and see how much further I need to go to reach my goal. 

Darned technology is wonderful when it works!
