Ever heard of Ingress? Google it up, android only for now, though they say it'll be on iOS very soon.
It's like competitive geocaching with capture the flag and a massive scifi storyline.
I hadn't, then a guy at work mentioned it, and now I'm addicted. Commuting? Maybe take a different route so I can tag some points. Running errands? Lots of big triangular patterns when I plan where I "need" to go. Downtime at home or work? Pull up the worldwide intel map and plot a few future missions.
Really, insanely, addictive. The beauty is you literally can't sit still. It forces you to get out in the world a little. Can't wait for riding weather, mostly because my truck burns a LOT of gas doing this.
