(We just acquire some Galaxy S3 phones and have installed the Sygic GPS software which we used on our older tablet.) Old dogs, new tricks. :)

Torque for sure. That and a bluetooth dongle you can purchase for under 20 dollars your phone becomes a nice systems monitor.

Torque is one of those really cool finds. I bought the bluetooth dongle on ebay and purchased the full app. I think my total for both came to $17. It's a nice way to display real-time engine and performance data.

Others that I find handy...

State Farm Insurance... mainly the insurance cards. Now, if my DL and registration were there too!

GEICO's app, same reason. I'd love it if my DL and registration were with the app as well, and usable if stopped.

Haven't tried the Geico app yet, but seems easier to keep my insurance card with my driver's license in my wallet. Also keep a copy of my policy papers in each vehicle.
