The runstar app sure does have GPS integration and shows it on Google maps. Just click on the runs in the results section.

I have tried this app and love it! I can’t wait for the other features to become available. The GPS works great and shows my route taken. I only wish there was a way to integrate Nike+ information with it for when I do my treadmill runs,

piece of garbage. Crashes constantly. Takes forever to get a GPS lock. Absolutely nothing better than finishing off an excellent run at a new faster pace only to have the piece of crap application crash when you touch the finish button.

I’m a developer too. I’ve had this on my phone for at least a month. These problems have been present the entire time. During that same period almost all of my other Android apps have updated. But not this. Which is what makes it garbage. I get that software has bugs. We programmers fix the bugs and then get the update to out customers. This is garbage.

I’ll find something better. Thanks for playing.

  As a programmer then you also know how important it is with feedback in the form of logs and reports. Did you send those to the developer?

LOVE this app. I’ve used Nike+ and Garmin trackers, and this one is the easiest to use with all the data you want. Easy, simple to use, and accurate. The only thing that would make this better is the ability to integrate a heart rate monitor or track my splits, but you can’t ask for everything on a free app. I love getting all the same info that my Garmin friends get, without having to wear a watch as well!

I downloaded the free version because I loved the beautiful interface. Sadly the first thing I did (clicking the Results tab on the bottom) instantly crashed the app. Tried it again and again and it crashes everytime : (
