Here's a cool Droid application for Hams who travel frequently:

https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result

Description

RFinder allows you to find repeaters all over the world based on your current location or a specified location. It allows sorting by distance or by Trustee callsign as well as filtering by band and radius in miles or kilometers.

25% of the proceeds of this app funds youth programs in Amateur Radio!
Repeater Finder (RFinder) taps into a worldwide repeater database, including IRLP and Echolink information. Our database is growing daily.

If we do not have your repeaters listed...please do not refund...instead please send us a national list we don't have and get a 75% refund (25% goes to fund youth programs in Amateur Radio)! It will be loaded within 48h
send to [email protected]

The application only stores information for repeaters within approximately 80 miles (125 km) from your location on your handheld at any one time, saving you room on your device. It uses geolocation either via cell tower triangulation, GPS or manual location entry (so you can look up the repeaters you will use on vacation or business trips, etc.).

If anyone has lists of repeaters from their countries we would love to incorporate that into our database. We already have:
US, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Canada, England, Scotland, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands

Worldwide IRLP and Echolink nodes.

We support 1.6 and above!

Planned Future Developments
------------------------
IRLP and Echolink Status
Integration to Google Maps
Callsign Lookup
