I use four apps primarily, and have set up the dock with shortcuts for each one.
Mort Music Player for tunes.
Copilot GPS for road navigation (though they just screwed their premium version customers yesterday with an update, deleting Google text-to-speech and replacing it with a robotic sounding TTS engine behind a $3.00 paywall!).
Torque Pro for monitoring vehicle performance.
Backcountry Navigator Pro for topo mapping, wilderness route planning, guidance and recording.
Here's a video of my install. The sound quality gets pretty poor partway through, but the beginning explains the actual install. If you visit the YouTube page, there are links to a list of parts I used.

Both are options. They work off of the internal Nexus 7 sensors, not the CAN bus. To be honest, the inclinometer, while perhaps cool looking, is actually the angle of the Nexus 7, not the Jeep. Since the Nexus 7 is turned at an angle to face me when driving, it's accuracy is off a bit. On top of that, it's based on the accelerometers. So, when accelerating/decelerating the Jeep, that also affects its indications.

Yeah, it really is a bargain. The actual free version is also very capable. Someone who doesn't want to spend $10 should just get it. Avoid any risk of malware ending up on your device.

I've been running the free version for a few weeks - pretty cool and no ill effects so far. I think the free version is a limited-time full-featured demo, though. Mine expires next week, but I'll be buying the pro version today - definitely worth it!

Personally I toggle between the paid subscription Accuterra and the good ole' USGSs Topo.
The Accuterra is nice for figuring out if you are on BLM land, State, NP, NM or private land, but not all 4WD trails show up.
