Google Android app for offline gps?
Hi Folks
The roaming charges tend to be quite expensive, so I was wondering if anyone has found a useful Google Android application that allows them to import and visualize a .gpx (ie. from Bikely) while having no GPS connection?

I think mapmyride will do that. Will have to check it. I have a Galaxy Tab that is WiFi only, so I use it for GPS ride tracking but I can't save my ride until I get home and upload it.

I'm not really big on saving my ride, just being able to load a saved gpx or kml file and be able to view it without a gps connection.

MapDroyd
Never looked at what filetypes it uses. Just downloads state maps. Never really used it cuz I've never had roaming fees.

Thanks LP, I did try Mapdroyd. Works great offline. Problem that I noticed last night is that my Android doesn't recognize the .gpx file type. If I can find a way to associate it, I should be able to open an app with it.
