View your lap times and split times with graphical analysis on your phone.
Calculates your best theoretical lap time and best rolling lap time.

Send your data as a spreadsheet for analysis in MS Excel or Open Office.

I am about to buy an Android and will be getting this app for sure. I already have a 5 Hz bluetooth GPS. I wonder if the HTC Evo 4G will be able to run this app and record hi-res video at the same time...

i've posted about this in 3 diff. threads over the past 6mos.
basically, it works great. you can set your own split markers, and start/finish line. it uses google earth to pull up a view of the track and then shows your car going around the track with mph, altitude, split time, lap time, etc.. shows accel in green, braking in red, and coasting as a blue line. you can send a logged file to google earth and look at your lines, zoom-in and whatever. i like to glance at the screen when i'm on the track to see if i'm faster or slower than the previous lap. helps when trying new lines etc.
i don't pay attention to the time listed, only if the sector or lap time is green (faster) or red (slower). also, since my speedometer is broken, i can see what speeds i'm coming into or out of corners.
i did have a problem with gps interference at msr-c though. i don't know what was up over there, but there were huge power line towers right by the track. maybe that affected it.
for the money it's way worth it. i would contact trackmaster before you decide on a phone. a friend got an android phone and it didn't work with his.
also, the developer has always answered my questions or when i had issues, beyond fast. totally happy with the app. i really only bought my phone to run this app. it's like a budget traqmate.

Search fail on my part 
Good idea. I am not sure how he would know since the phone I am getting is not out yet but I contacted him anyway. Maybe he has secret Android app developer powers and knowledge. I'll let you guys know if/when I try it out on the HTC Evo 4G. It looks like it is basically the same hardware as the Verizon Droid Incredible.
