Describing Maverick Pro in one sentence is difficult. My try: This software handles ALL gaps left by Google Maps and shows how maps should be done on your phone!
What can you expect from Maverick Pro?
Firstly, there is a selection of different maps. Maverick offers:

• Open Street Maps (Mapnik & Osma)
• Google Maps (street, satellite, terrain)
• Bing maps (roads, satellite, hybrid)
• Wikimapia

Once you use a map, the map tiles are automatically cached by the program and are then available for offline use. If you know in advance that you won't have a (sufficient) data connection, you can also pre-download entire maps with the free software Atlas Creator (available for Windows, Mac, Linux).

What's also great: On a layer above each map you can also fade in waypoints, tracks or geocaches. This feature could for example be used as an interactive cityguide. It's even possible to add new waypoints on the road!

Anyone who wants to record the traveled distance for later use (e.g. Geotagging your photos, Google Earth, etc.) can also export the data.

For all this and much more (compass, various import and export and statistical functions, just to name a few) the developer Code Sector charges only € 2.95 (via Android Market).

Unfortunately I cannot test such innovate Android applications like SatSki daily. But I am sure, that many of my ski and snowboard enthusiastic readers will love this program, too!
What is it?
To get started, select your desired ski resort. Choose from over 100 ski resorts (18x Canada, 42x USA). Including Vail, Banff, Stowe, Mont Tremblant and Aspen... The complete list is linked at "other". 
Afterwards your have access to extensive statistic functions. This includes information about speeds and distances that can be replayed on your PC (Google Earth), when you're back home. 
In addition, SatSki can give you detailed information on restaurants, bars, doctors, ski rental shops and schools - even in offline use. If your data plan works (abroad), you can also use "live services". This shows, for example where your friends (who also use SatSki) are on the map and provides current information from your resort. 
Perhaps the most interesting function is navigation: did you ever try to find the best route to some Ski Hut? This app will help you out by suggesting a configurable (red / black runs) route (see screenshots). Should you ever be in the unfortunate position of an emergency, SatSki can show the local emergency phone number next to your GPS coordinates. 
Finally, the only drawback: licensing seems too complicated. There are 3 "versions":

• Bronze: 1 Resort for 2 weeks (7.90 USD)
• Silver: 1 Resort for 12 months (13.00 USD)
• Gold: Unlimited Resorts for 12 months (15.50 USD)

But what are 16 bucks (for a year) in comparison with your ski pass? Everyone interested in winter sports,should really download the free "SatSki Lite" version from Android Market and play bit with the demo resort.

A good dictionary 'to go' seems appealing. Anyone who relies on a high quality and timely content knows the 'Oxford Dictionary of English'.
With over

• 355,000 words, phrases and definitions (including 3,000 new)
• example usage
• word origins + encyclopedic entries

When you start the application for the first time, the dictionary will be downloaded (MSDict format) to the phone memory or your SD card. Subsequently, everything is also available offline.
What makes this dictionary especially useful:

• Search results are displayed while you type
• Hyperlinks are shown on the results pages and 
• The history of recently looked up words can be scrolled through

Both content and the technical implementation (by MobiSystems) are done pretty well. But unfortunately, due to the  application's high price, we can not assign the highest rating here. 'Oxford Dictionary of English' costs € 29,99, which is only slightly cheaper than the dictionary's hard copy (more than 2000 pages for € 31,95).
