DownloadAre you passionate about exploring new routes, whether it's hiking through the wilderness or navigating city streets? Geo Tracker is the perfect app for you! Designed for adventurers who crave detailed GPS tracking, Geo Tracker works seamlessly with Open Street Maps or Google, making it ideal for anyone who loves outdoor activities or travel.
With Geo Tracker, you can record GPS tracks of your trips, analyze comprehensive statistics, and share your adventures with friends. Here's how Geo Tracker can enhance your experience:
- Find your way back effortlessly in unfamiliar territories without getting lost.
- Share your routes with friends, allowing them to follow in your footsteps.
- Import routes from GPX, KML, or KMZ files to explore paths others have taken.
- Mark significant or interesting points along your journey for future reference.
- Locate any point on the map if you know its coordinates.
- Showcase your achievements with vibrant screenshots on social networks.
Geo Tracker offers a versatile viewing experience: you can see your tracks and the surrounding area using maps from OSM or Google, as well as satellite imagery from Google or Mapbox. This ensures you always have access to the most detailed maps, even in remote areas. Map areas you view are cached on your device for offline access, which is particularly effective with OSM maps and Mapbox satellite images. To record and analyze track statistics, all you need is a GPS signal; internet access is only required for downloading map images.
When driving, activate the navigation mode to have the map automatically rotate in the direction of travel, simplifying your navigation experience. Geo Tracker can record tracks in the background on many devices (note that additional system settings may be required, and instructions are provided within the app). The app is optimized for power efficiency, with an average battery life supporting a full day of recording. There's also an economy mode available in the settings for even more efficient use.
Geo Tracker calculates detailed statistics for your journeys, including:
- Distance traveled and recording time.
- Maximum and average speed on the track.
- Time and average speed while in motion.
- Minimum and maximum altitude, altitude difference.
- Vertical distance, ascent, and speed.
- Minimum, maximum, and average slope.
Additionally, you can access detailed charts of speed and elevation data. Recorded tracks can be saved in GPX, KML, and KMZ formats, making them compatible with popular applications like Google Earth or Ozi Explorer. All tracks are stored locally on your device, ensuring your privacy as they are not transferred to any servers.
Geo Tracker is ad-free and does not exploit your personal data. To support ongoing development, you can make a voluntary donation through the app.
To optimize your GPS experience, consider these tips:
- Allow some time for the GPS signal to be found when starting tracking.
- Restart your smartphone and ensure you have a clear view of the sky, free from obstructions like tall buildings or dense forests.
- Be aware that reception conditions can change due to factors like weather, season, satellite positioning, and areas with poor GPS coverage.
- Activate "Location" in your phone's settings.
- Set "Date & Time" to automatic in your phone's settings, including the time zone, as incorrect settings can delay GPS signal acquisition.
- Disable airplane mode in your phone settings.
If these tips don't resolve your GPS issues, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Keep in mind that Google Maps uses additional data from nearby WLAN and mobile networks to enhance location accuracy, which may differ from Geo Tracker's GPS-only approach.
