"This place is death!"

Wow, last night's episode of LOST was great.  Now that we know when the show will officially end, though, it really feels like the producers are trying to cram the rest of the key plot elements in at break-neck pace.  It beats being left in the dark, though.

Too bad out LOST castaways didn't have this handy new tool from Google.

Today, Dylan Casey, a former professional bicyclist, announced another location-based service from Google.  My Tracks is a new application for the Android phone that makes it super-easy to record your routes when biking, hiking, running, or doing pretty much anything outdoors.

My Tracks also integrates with other Android applications to make it easy to share your routes. When you select "Share with friends," Android will allow you to share your track through other Android applications that can send messages. By default this is the Gmail application, but if you have installed other applications that can send messages, there will be more options. To demonstrate this we worked with the Twidroid team. It is now just as easy to tweet your tracks as it is to email them. Simply install the latest version of Twidroid available from Android market.

To download My Tracks to your G1, just head to Android Market and search for "My Tracks."
