Thank you for that hint about using editing Ski Tracks GPX files when using
them with Google Earth as the underlying map.

I'm first going down the list of Google-suggested MyTracks replacements, so
the app I'm working on now is Map My Hike GPX Hiking from
"MapMyFitness, Inc". It seems to breadcrumb, but it remains to be seen if
those breadcrumbs can be saved onto the flash card and whether or not they
can be shown in real time on an underlying offline map on the device.

After I test Map My Hike today, I will try to save the track as either GPX
or KML onto the phone itself. If that works, then I will try to visualize
the track on the Google-suggested MyTracks-replacement app named GPX
Viewer, by Vectura Games.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vecturagames.android.app.gpxviewer

The description for GPX Viewer says it displays GPX/KML breadcrumbs on
Google Maps (which can be saved offline ahead of time using the "OK Maps"
method).

The description for GPX Viewer says it works with "some" OSM maps, so I
will try one of the offline OSM maps that I already have, once I have a GPX
or KML track from Map My Hike.
