Default Android Apps that work on the bike?

Just saw a thread on iPhone apps & thought I would pose the same question for the Android phone. Does anyone have anything they've seen on the Droid market?

Instamapper. Logs your route onto a Google map that is viewable on the web. When I go on trips it allows the wife, girlfriend, or anyone else with the link to see where I am, along with altitude, speed, etc.... Free. Works very well.

Good way to get caught if you're leaving wife's house to head to the girlfriends (and then leaving there to head over to the hairdressers....)

Naw, you just gotta remember to turn it off. Both the app and the wife!

Pandora is superb.

Rain Alarm is a must, at least in Portland. You get real time doppler alerts with audible. Will cut into Pandora to tell you rain is currently failing on the road you're on.

HarleyDroid.

RPM
Speed
Odometer
Logs mileage and fuel used per mile
All logs are saved a .csv for charting in MS Excel. It uses ODBII, I have made a custom cable that plugs into the data port on the Harley. Pretty neat.
