Application Description

Discover the ultimate GPS tracking app designed for adventurers, travelers, and anyone who loves the outdoors. With Geo Tracker, you can record GPS tracks of your trips, dive into detailed statistics, and share your journeys with friends. Whether you're navigating unfamiliar terrain or showcasing your adventures on social media, Geo Tracker is your go-to companion.

Geo Tracker is perfect for:

• Finding your way back in unknown areas without getting lost;
• Sharing your routes with friends;
• Utilizing routes from GPX, KML, or KMZ files shared by others;
• Marking significant or interesting points along your journey;
• Locating specific points on the map using known coordinates;
• Boasting about your achievements with vibrant screenshots on social networks.

Explore your tracks and the surrounding landscape within the app using detailed maps from Open Street Maps (OSM) or Google, as well as satellite imagery from Google or Mapbox. This ensures you have the most comprehensive map coverage anywhere in the world. The areas you view are cached on your device, making them available offline for a period, especially with OSM maps and Mapbox's satellite images. To record and analyze your tracks, only a GPS signal is required; internet access is needed solely for downloading map images.

While on the move, enable navigation mode to have the map rotate automatically in the direction you're traveling, simplifying your journey. Geo Tracker can continue recording tracks in the background (though this might require specific device settings—instructions are provided in the app). The app's background mode is optimized for power efficiency, allowing a full day of recording on a single charge. An economy mode is also available in the settings for further battery conservation.

Geo Tracker provides a wealth of statistics about your trips, including:

• Distance traveled and recording duration;
• Maximum and average speed;
• Time and average speed while in motion;
• Minimum and maximum altitude, altitude differential;
• Vertical distance, ascent rate, and vertical speed;
• Minimum, maximum, and average slope.

Additionally, the app offers detailed charts of speed and elevation data. You can save your recorded tracks in GPX, KML, or KMZ formats, making them compatible with popular applications like Google Earth or Ozi Explorer. Your data remains stored locally on your device, never transferred to external servers.

Geo Tracker is ad-free and respects your privacy, not collecting any personal data. Support the ongoing development of the app by making a voluntary donation within the application.

To enhance your GPS experience and troubleshoot common issues, consider these tips:

• Allow some time for the GPS signal to stabilize when starting a track.
• Restart your smartphone and ensure you have an unobstructed view of the sky.
• Be aware that GPS reception can vary due to weather, season, satellite positions, and obstructions like buildings or forests.
• Enable location services in your phone's settings.
• Set your phone to automatically adjust date, time, and time zone to avoid delays in GPS signal acquisition.
• Ensure airplane mode is off.

If these tips don't resolve your issues, consider uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Note that Google Maps enhances its location accuracy by incorporating data from surrounding Wi-Fi and mobile networks, in addition to GPS data.
