Has anyone any experiences with aviation apps for the Android phones? Specifically I was looking at navigation sytems and I recently downloaded my first.

Bearing+Distance SW - Android

It had some good reviews and the interface looked very much like what I was looking for and at about $6.50, cheap. Well, it would be cheap if it worked - a single cent spent on something that doesn't is too expensive in my book.

It installed ok, I enabled the GPS on my phone, which is running the latest Android and it just sits there - frozen while looking for a signal. Have not been able to even change the one destination I typed in. My google maps app is working fine, so I know the GPS s working. So far, it's damned useless.

Any others out there that actually work ok and don't cost several hundred dollars?
