Google has announced the launch of another 20% time project, the new "My Tracks" application for Android-powered phones.

Aimed at hikers, bikers and runners, My Tracks records tracks of outdoor activities using the phone's built-in GPS.

These track maps, and live statistics about the activity can then be saved on the phone and shared online via Google Maps, Docs and even Twitter.

However, to get the full info press play on the vid above and have it explained to you by Jeff, a very nice man from Google's Boulder, Colorado office.
