Geo Tracker - GPS tracker

Discover the joy of recording your GPS tracks during your adventures, analyzing detailed statistics, and sharing your experiences with friends using Geo Tracker! Whether you're an avid outdoor enthusiast, a frequent traveler, or simply in need of a reliable GPS tracker compatible with Open Street Maps or Google, Geo Tracker is the perfect app for you.

Geo Tracker offers a multitude of features to enhance your journey:

• Ensure you find your way back effortlessly in unfamiliar territories.
• Share your meticulously planned routes with friends.
• Import routes from GPX, KML, or KMZ files to follow someone else's path.
• Mark significant or intriguing waypoints along your route.
• Locate a specific point on the map using known coordinates.
• Showcase vibrant screenshots of your achievements on social media platforms.

With Geo Tracker, you can explore your tracks and the surrounding landscapes using maps from OSM or Google, alongside satellite imagery from Google or Mapbox, ensuring you have the most detailed map coverage globally. Maps you view are cached on your device, allowing offline access for a period, which is particularly effective with OSM maps and Mapbox's satellite images. To record and compute track statistics, only a GPS signal is required; internet access is needed solely for downloading map images.

Enhance your driving experience with navigation mode, where the map rotates automatically to align with your direction of travel, simplifying your navigation. Geo Tracker can also record tracks in the background, although this may require specific system configurations on many devices (detailed instructions are available within the app). The app's power consumption is optimized for background recording, typically lasting a full day on a single charge. Additionally, an economy mode is available within the app settings to further conserve battery life.

Geo Tracker meticulously calculates a range of statistics for your trips, including:

• Distance traveled and total recording time.
• Maximum and average speed throughout the track.
• Time spent in motion and average speed during movement.
• Minimum and maximum altitude, as well as the altitude difference.
• Vertical distance, ascent, and vertical speed.
• Minimum, maximum, and average slope.

You can also access detailed charts illustrating speed and elevation data. Tracks recorded can be saved in GPX, KML, or KMZ formats, making them compatible with other popular applications such as Google Earth or Ozi Explorer. Importantly, your tracks are stored locally on your device and are not sent to any servers.

Geo Tracker does not rely on ads or personal data for revenue. If you wish to support the ongoing development of the app, you can make a voluntary donation within the application.

To help you overcome common GPS issues with your smartphone, consider these tips:

• Allow some time for the GPS signal to be acquired when starting tracking.
• Restart your smartphone and ensure you have an unobstructed view of the sky before beginning (avoid high buildings, dense forests, etc.).
• Be aware that GPS reception can vary due to factors like weather, season, satellite positioning, areas with poor GPS coverage, high buildings, and forests.
• Activate the "Location" setting on your phone.
• Set your phone to "Automatic date & time" and "Automatic time zone" in the "Date & time" settings, as incorrect time zones can delay GPS signal acquisition.
• Ensure airplane mode is turned off in your phone settings.

If these tips do not resolve your issues, consider uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Keep in mind that Google Maps utilizes not only GPS data but also additional location data from nearby WLAN networks and/or mobile networks.
