If you're passionate about exploring new places, engaging in outdoor activities, or simply love to travel, Geo Tracker is the perfect GPS tracking app for you. Whether you prefer using Open Street Maps or Google, this app ensures you can record your GPS tracks, analyze detailed statistics, and share your adventures with friends.
Geo Tracker is designed to enhance your experience in several ways:
- Helping you find your way back in unfamiliar territories without getting lost;
- Allowing you to share your routes with friends;
- Enabling you to follow someone else's route using GPX, KML, or KMZ files;
- Marking significant or interesting points along your journey;
- Locating specific points on the map if you know their coordinates;
- Sharing colorful screenshots of your achievements on social media.
With Geo Tracker, you can view your tracks and the surrounding areas using detailed maps from OSM or Google, as well as satellite images from Google or Mapbox. This means you'll have access to the most comprehensive maps anywhere in the world. The app caches map areas you view, making them available offline for a period, which is particularly effective with OSM maps and Mapbox's satellite imagery. To record and calculate track statistics, you only need a GPS signal; the internet is required solely for downloading map images.
While driving, you can activate navigation mode, where the map rotates in the direction of travel, making navigation much easier. The app also supports background tracking on many devices, though this may require additional system configuration (detailed instructions are available within the app). Geo Tracker is optimized for power efficiency, allowing for a full day of recording on a single charge, with an economy mode available in the app settings.
Geo Tracker provides comprehensive statistics on 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, as well as altitude difference;
- Vertical distance, ascent, and climbing speed;
- Minimum, maximum, and average slope.
Additionally, detailed charts of speed and elevation data are available for a more in-depth analysis.
Your recorded tracks can be saved in GPX, KML, and KMZ formats, making them compatible with other popular applications like Google Earth or Ozi Explorer. All tracks are stored locally on your device and are not sent to any external servers.
Geo Tracker does not rely on ads or your personal data for revenue. To support ongoing development, you can make voluntary donations through the app.
Here are some useful tips to troubleshoot common GPS issues with your smartphone:
- Wait a bit after starting tracking to allow the GPS signal to be found.
- Restart your smartphone and ensure you have a clear view of the sky before starting (avoid high buildings, forests, etc.).
- Be aware that reception conditions can vary due to factors like weather, season, satellite positioning, and areas with poor GPS coverage.
- Enable "Location" in your phone settings.
- In "Date & Time" settings, activate "Automatic date & time" and "Automatic time zone" to avoid delays in GPS signal acquisition due to incorrect time settings.
- Turn off airplane mode in your phone settings.
If these tips don't resolve your issues, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Note that Google Maps uses additional data from surrounding WLAN and mobile networks to enhance location accuracy, which might differ from Geo Tracker's purely GPS-based approach.
