    The C25k app tracks distance, not sure if there's a version for droid though... I have an iphone.

    I usually map out distance before I go out - I use run.com as it covers all over the globe and seems to be pretty accurate and not too clunky

    I use runkeeper, the free version, to track how far I have walk/biked.

    iMapMyRun is excellent. Has GPS capability, plus many other very useful features. There is a paid version, but most of the basic functionality is in the free one.

    Cardio Trainer! It's free, it has an option to upgrade but the free version is loaded with features like google maps, music and voice output integration, workout schedule and reminders and widgets. Awesome free app!

    I use Runkeeper as well... very awesome. I like to listen to Pandora with Runkeeper enabled because every five minutes it'll talk over the music and give you an update on your progress.

    Runkeeper Pro is a free app. It uses gps and tracks your distance and lets you know your pace and the calories burned.

    I've used mapmyrun (works pretty decently) but I prefer EndoMondo... free app. :)

    I posted this a few weeks ago:

    I've been testing a few different Android tracking apps recently and comparing their accuracy on distance. I start all the apps at the start of my walk and stop them all at the end. I then upload the map to Google and edit the track to remove any errors to get the actual distance. Here are some results as a percentage of the actual distance, averaged over a number of different walks (YMMV!)

    Orus Maps 100%
    Run Keeper 101%
    Maverick 101%
    iMapMyRun 103%
    Cardio Trainer 106%
    Google My Tracks 108%
    Endomondo 117% (used to be better before version 4.1)

    I have settled on Runkeeper and Maverick (for the offline maps support).

    Hope this helps,
    Julian.

    PS - This is running on an HTC Desire in the UK

    I have tried most of them but prefer the simplicity of MyTracks (http://mytracks.appspot.com/). Its open source, uses minimal resources, and syncs quickly and easily with my Gmail personal maps.

    I'm using logyourrun on my iphone. It has the ability to switch between different exercise modes and is compatible with many HRMs (although I haven't gotten that far yet.) It's free!!

    How accurate would you say google my tracks is? I just went on a walk and it said it was 4 miles which I have a hard time believing. I'll have to use the odometer in my truck to guess if it is close.

    Bumping for later reference. I don't run much...but if I ever do it'd be cool to have a list of exercise compatible applications lol.

    For the record, I think my Ulysse Gizmo app logs distance, if that's all you're looking for. Free Android app.

    I use sports tracker. if you have a blue tooth harm u can link it to it. I used my tracks. it tends to loose gps and you dont know it if you mountain bike in heavy woods like me. I had it loose asmuch as 4 miles before. I have all so used bike track but didnt care much for it. I tried all the free ones and some of the payed and these 3 are by fair the best on the market. My vote goes to sports tracker with a close second to my tracks

    Well I used it again this time in my truck. It registered 3.5 miles and I assume since I didn't do as much walking inside the store itself. I was going to use the odometer on the truck but I forgot half way there. So once again I will try, in the morning that is. The speed seemed to be accurate. The fastest I went was forty and it got that right. Maybe it is pretty reliable =]
