    I use SkyDroid

    Does cost €1.55 but you can map any course as long as its viewable on google maps (you can prob do this with many apps now I'm guessing). I find it very accurate and no problem with battery life when using it etc

    Do all of these apps use google maps? My course isn't clear enough on Google maps.

    Freecaddie gives you a choice of Google Maps or Bing Maps when you plot the course online.

    I'm also using Freecaddie on a Xperia Play....its great!

    Its pretty accurate for the course I mapped.

    If you buy the full version (not sure how much it is these days) you can edit the markers if you find they are out by any major distance.
