Google Maps Engine

I discovered a pretty cool app for my Android. It's called Google Maps Engine. I have a couple of Google Maps created with strips on them that I like to go to, and others I would like to go to someday. Usually I have to grab the coordinates and punch them into my GPS. Now with Google Maps Engine I can pull up the map I created and saved in Google Maps and display it on my Android phone. It will also show my current position so it makes it really easy to navigate to the strips I've already marked in Google Maps and scope them out. I'm sure you could already do this with the web version on your phone but the app makes it really easy.

I'm a network switching and routing engineer but I don't know how to get a screenshot from my phone or else I'd post one. :)

Here's the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... d.apps.m4b
