Thank you for this app! It's much more flexible than the one I've been using.

Is there a way to see how far I went in a GPS track, either during or after I've finished? I read the user guide and the list of tools, but I don't see anything I can use for this.

I did see Mobile Trail Explorer, which would possibly tell me distance, but I can't figure out how to install it on a BlackBerry. It has .jad and .jar files, but for installing on BB, I think I need .alx files.

Yep, you can see distance travelled by adding CMS screen to app. Explained in wiki

There are a lot of them to choose, in Themes section.

is a variable available for distance from starting track to aktuell position or end of the track (airline)

Distance is counted from start moving, even if you don't use tracks Smile
Shows distance already travelled, not distance to go.

Nope.
Standard gpx track doesn't contain info about track length (just points info only), so loading it not shows length.

I looked for a theme, but can't find any that say they're for Blackberry. All I need is for it to tell me how far I've gone and how long I've been, anything else would be nice but not necessary.

I have a Blackberry Pearl 8130, OS 4.5
