Car Related Phone Apps: What are you using?

[Demon I Am]

I'm looking for an easier way to keep track of all things car related.

The only things I'm actively using right now:

Vehicle Monitoring:
OBDLink. I have the OBDLinkLX which plugs into my ODB port. It allows me to track ECU-sent datapoints, such as speed, air temp, horsepower, fuel economy, etc. The gauges/panels are fully customizable, and the refresh rates are awesome. I've been meaning to give Torque a try, but I'm happy enough with OBDLink to not swap.

Mapping:
Waze. User-editable mapping system/gps. Shows your routes, and gives you heads-up regarding traffic, and other upcoming hazards. Allows you to drop "pins" that can be used to warn others. Seems to be more realistic on the estimated drive times than Google Maps has been. It will also actively search for faster routes if there are major slowdowns.

Maintenance:
None. I'm currently hoping to find a good reminder app. Something to plug in oil change miles, service info, etc. I used to use Automotive Wolf, long before smartphones, but I'm not sure it ever became an app. It was also clunky, and unappealingly laid out.

So, are you guys using anything useful when it comes to your car/drives?

HERE maps for GPS, love it! Also Torque from time to time. Your idea for maintenance reminders is nice, I would need something mileage-based rather than time-based though, so for now it is just a complex spreadsheet. :P

There was an app, when I first purchased my car I fiddled around with it a little bit. Basically an electronic service book and calendar of sorts, for your car. I will try to find it and tell you.

I use aCar to keep track of mpgs but you can keep track of maintenance, etc....i really like it. :)

I have found acar app for Android. It tracks fill-ups, services, fuel economy, expenses fuel/service/custom parts (like anyone would WANT to see that!!!). You can set mileage or time based reminders. It'll track your road trips. Looks like you can import/export records to your computer, which would be great, if you were selling the car.

A Pro version is available, that will give you charts/graphs of your data points, extra languages, home screen widget use, data import from Fuelly, FuelFrog, SprintMonitor,Trackyourgasmileage, and a bunch of other apps.

EDIT: Ha, Good call, Greasemonkey!

Ya updated to Pro because i thought i had to import/export files but it is a nifty app that i have used for 3+yrs now. Thanks for posting more details! :drinkto:

Edit: Here is a screen shot of one of the breakdown of mpgs, etc.

Yup, that was it. aCar.

Speedbox, a GPS based speedometer, Track Addict Pro, Harry's Lap Timer, both are GPS track apps for timing and telemetry.

I forgot to add, though not an app, I have the FSM for my Miata on the cloud. I can access all 1400+ pages of it from my phone. It has come in handy a few times.

It should also be noted that I have a more accurate 10Hz external GPS for my phone for the lap timer.

RaceChrono for lap timing

Google Maps for navigation usually. Vuze occasionally has a faster route or takes me through a new neighborhood, but it also tends to direct me in circles or take me on unnecessarily long routes around imaginary traffic.

[Grumpy]

Google maps or sygic for navigation. Sygic is nice since it doesn't eat your data plan. You can download only the states you need.
