If I run Google Maps with the puck, then try to start bbTracker, the puck will not be found. Have to power off the phone, occasionally pull the battery. Turning off the GPS while bbTracker is tracking is also a no-no.
Is there a debug or log mode for bbTracker that I can use to try to figure this out?

Yes, there is a debug log. When you go to the About Screen you'll see two menu Items: "Show Log" which displays the last few log messages and "Log to file" which will write all log messages to a file named "debug.txt" in the track directory.

Once it is running, it works very well.
In some future version, it would be nice to have the rest of the GPS point info: fix, sat,
hdop, vdop, pdop put into the GPX export. I have other applications that make use of this information. No need to display it.
Also nice to have view showing the NMEA messages - occasionally useful.

Showing the NMEA messages would only work with external GPS pucks, because when I'm using the GPS API (for accessing the internal GPS), then I only have access to very stripped-down NMEA sentences.
