I've had my Android for a month or so now, and keep finding great apps to use with my Jeep. Here are some good ones (in no particular order) - you can download them in the Android app store, or by scanning the QR code with an app like barcode scanner:

This is a great GPS speedometer that includes a compass. It works well and is simple to use.

This is more of a dragstrip app - you have a built in speedometer, as well as the ability to do a timed run. You can use the GPS to measure your 1/4, 0-60mph, etc stats.

Torque for Android

torque.png Torque (free or $5 for full version)

This is my favorite app. You'll need to purchase a bluetooth ODB scanner (I got one for $35 off of ebay), and once you pair that to your Android, you'll be able to read an amazing array of data from your car's engine - turning your $40 investment into a $200 - $300 odbii scanner.

You can configure the display to show whatever widgets you want. I've got my computer speed vs gps speed, torque, HP, avg fuel mileage, instant fuel mileage... there's just a ton of possible measurements. Plus you can log everything and email it to yourself.

Jeep Forum App

No talk about great Jeep android apps would be complete without the Jeepz.com app :shades: You can browse, post, and pm with this. It makes great reference when you're out working on the Jeep.

the torque app is sweet. i wish i was obd1 compliant so i could use it. i have it and nothing to use it on because it is so cool
 

I use the SpeedView when im around cops, because i know mines not right lol
 
Back Country Navigator is hands down the most required for any jeeper. It is a GPS navigator that is as simple as mark the area you are going, save Topo maps, sat maps, road maps in minutes. No desktop needed or aligning map files. Follows tracks and waypoints. $9.99. Give the demo a try you WILL agree.
