Well, the good news is that Radardroid Pro WILL happily import POI Factory speed and red-light camera databases--so you can have the best of both worlds.
Thank you.
Thanks for the info and the links.

Charging Station Availability for EVs (Electric Vehicles)
Here’s a link for an app for checking to see whether charging stations for your car are available near you:

This app can be used in conjunction with my brand new POI file Charging Stations – EV (Electric Vehicles).gpx (Node 35513) which contains hundreds of locations. Most all of these charging stations are free of charge to use!

Android Bad Apps Warning
http://gizmodo.com/5880268/five-million-android-users-might-...
"According to Symantec, 13 apps from three developers—many in the official Android Market—have been carrying malicious chunks of code called Android.Counterclank, and are suspected of running on as many as five million phones, stealing info and running ads against the will of the device's owner.
ComputerWorld, speaking to Symantec, learned that the apps have been downloadable for over a month, and Symantec calls it the biggest android malware outbreak to date.
Some of the 13 apps that Symantec identified as infected have been on the Android Market for at least a month, according to the revision dates posted on the e-store. Symantec, however, discovered them only yesterday.
Users had noticed something fishy before then.
"The game is decent ... but every time you run this game, a 'search icon gets added randomly to one of your screens," said one user on Jan. 16 after downloading "Deal & Be Millionaire," one of the 13. "I keep deleting the icon, but it always reappears. If you tap the icon you get a page that looks suspiciously like the Google search page."
The apps, distributed by iApps7, Ogre Games and redmicapps, are mostly games with titles such as Counter Strike Hit Force, Wild Man and Stripper Touch girl. Here's the full list:
Counter Elite Force
Counter Strike Ground Force
CounterStrike Hit Enemy
Heart Live Wallpaper
Hit Counter Terrorist
Stripper Touch girl
Balloon Game
Deal & Be Millionaire
Wild Man
Pretty women lingerie puzzle
Sexy Girls Photo Game
Sexy Girls Puzzle
Sexy Women Puzzle
Not-so-shockingly Symantec believes these publishers exist solely to distribute malware. Google might want to get rid of those."

Clean-up?
They went through a lot of work to get these apps. One thing I haven't read yet is how to get rid of it? Is it just a matter of uninstalling the bad app?
Clean up
DL Avast! Mobile Security, and let it do it's thing after you uninstall these apps.
If that fails, you may have to do a full security wipe. DO NOT back up the device. You may get re-infected.

Well, I'm not infected as I didn't download any of these. I was asking how to remove the problem for general interest and with some hope that Android was more resilient and easier to clean than the "other OS". Seems it's not the case and you still nee some more brutal tools to eradicate the problems.
Great
This is a great idea for a post. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, thanks to Aero_Jonno for the warning and to Juggernaut for the tip about "avast! Free Mobile Security". I just got my new phone (Samsung Galaxy Nexus) and am still a bit bewildered by it. Advice like this is greatly appreciated!
