Hello Ivan, I use a number of apps. I customize my home screen, so it's very fast to switch between them.
For recording tracks, I use My Tracks (a Google product, very mature). For recording house numbers I made my own app. (I'm currently adding 150 new addresses each day, nearly a thousand if you count interpolation) If you know a little bit java and python, you can certainly adapt it to recording PoIs: Source: https://github.com/nroets/KeypadMapper Documentation: http://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/1385/what-is-the-best-mobile-application-for-large-scale-house-number-collection And for view the map I use the unreleased (still in development) version of Gosmore.
