Geo Tracker - GPS tracker

Are you an adventurer at heart, eager to explore the great outdoors, or a traveler seeking to capture every moment of your journeys? Geo Tracker is the ultimate GPS tracking app designed for enthusiasts like you. Whether you prefer Open Street Maps or Google Maps, this app caters to all your navigation needs, ensuring you never lose your way.

With Geo Tracker, you can:

• Easily find your way back in unfamiliar territories without getting lost;
• Share your routes with friends, making it easier to explore together;
• Import and follow routes from GPX, KML, or KMZ files shared by others;
• Mark significant or intriguing points along your journey;
• Locate specific points on the map if you know their coordinates;
• Showcase stunning screenshots of your adventures on social media.

View your tracks and the surrounding areas within the app using maps from OSM, Google, or satellite imagery from Google or Mapbox. This ensures you always have the most detailed maps, no matter where you are in the world. The map areas you explore are saved on your phone, making them available offline for a period, especially with OSM maps and Mapbox's satellite images. All you need to record and analyze your track statistics is a GPS signal; internet is only necessary for downloading map images.

While navigating, you can activate navigation mode, which rotates the map in the direction of your travel, enhancing your navigation experience. Geo Tracker can record tracks in the background (note that some devices may require additional system settings for this feature, with detailed instructions provided within the app). The app's power consumption is optimized for background recording, typically lasting a full day on a single charge. For extended battery life, you can enable the economy mode in the settings.

Geo Tracker provides comprehensive statistics such as:

• Distance traveled and recording duration;
• Maximum and average speed during your journey;
• Time and average speed while in motion;
• Minimum and maximum altitude, along with altitude differences;
• Vertical distance, ascent, and vertical speed;
• Minimum, maximum, and average slope.

Additionally, detailed charts of speed and elevation data are available for in-depth analysis.

Your recorded tracks can be saved as GPX, KML, or KMZ files, compatible with popular applications like Google Earth or Ozi Explorer. All data is stored locally on your device and is not transferred to any servers. Geo Tracker does not rely on ads or your personal data for revenue; instead, you can support the project with a voluntary donation through the app.

To ensure the best GPS performance, consider these tips:

• Allow some time for the GPS signal to be acquired 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 GPS reception can vary due to factors such as weather, season, satellite positioning, and areas with poor GPS coverage.
• Enable "Location" in your phone settings.
• Set "Date & Time" to automatic in your phone settings to ensure the correct time zone, which can affect 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. Remember, Google Maps uses not only GPS data but also data from surrounding WLAN and mobile networks for location accuracy.
