The Google app "My Tracks" was deprecated some months ago, which is a shame since it was very popular due to it's no-nonsense approach.
I had a look at the last version before Google deprecated it, it's available for download here.
Really the only two things that don't seem to work still are the maps (it just displays an empty background) and Google Drive syncing. I suppose Google canceled the API keys for those, and that's why they're not working.
So I used APKTool to unpack it, and changed the API key for the maps in AndroidManifest.xml to one that I had registered myself. I then used APKTool to put it back together, signed it with jarsigner and installed it on my phone. It didn't work (it's still not displaying the map).
So now I'm hoping someone smarter than me might be able to get it to work :) Not sure why it's not working (I used the package name of the app, com.google.android.maps.mytracks as the package name when I registered for the API key, if that matters).
