Let's see: weather forecasts, radar (nice to see where the rain starts/stops), maps, translator, ebooks, stopwatch when walking, music, reminders, level, voting info, pictures, finding fuel locations, campgrounds,
basically a lot of things that my computer can do my smartphone can also.

Built-in GPS works pretty slick. And with the GPS you can go geo-caching for fun. The list is a mile long when you start adding apps.

There's a speedometer app that I've used to check the accuracy of my speedometer (Ulysse Speedometer | AppBrain Android Market (http://www.appbrain.com/app/ulysse-speedometer/com.binarytoys.speedometer)), there's an app to find the lowest diesel prices in the area then map you to the station (GasBuddy Android App - Find cheap gas on Android (http://gasbuddy.com/GasBuddyAndroidApp.aspx)), Google maps to find and map you to whatever you're looking for from appliances to Zee TP.
