Whether you're navigating unfamiliar territories, indulging in outdoor activities, or simply traveling, this app is designed to enhance your experience with Open Street Maps or Google Maps.

Geo Tracker is your go-to solution for:
- Finding your way back in unknown areas without losing your path;

Explore your recorded tracks and the surrounding landscape within the app using detailed maps from OSM or Google, along with satellite imagery from Google or Mapbox. This ensures you have the most comprehensive map coverage, accessible offline for a period (optimal with OSM maps and Mapbox satellite images). Track recording and statistical analysis require only a GPS signal; internet connectivity is solely for downloading map images.
Enhance your driving experience with the navigation mode, which automatically aligns the map to your direction of travel, simplifying your journey.
Geo Tracker can continue to record your tracks in the background, though some devices may require specific settings adjustments (detailed instructions are provided within the app). The app optimizes power usage, allowing for up to a full day of recording on a single charge. For extended use, activate the economy mode in the app settings.
The app meticulously calculates a range of statistics including:
- Distance traveled and total recording time;
- Maximum and average speeds recorded;
- Time spent in motion and average speed during movement;
- Minimum and maximum altitude, as well as altitude difference;
- Vertical distance, ascent, and vertical speed;
- Minimum, maximum, and average slope.
Additionally, Geo Tracker provides detailed charts for speed and elevation data, enhancing your understanding of your journey.
Your recorded tracks can be saved in GPX, KML, and KMZ formats, making them compatible with popular platforms like Google Earth or Ozi Explorer. Importantly, all data remains local on your device, ensuring privacy and security without any data being transferred to external servers.
Geo Tracker is ad-free and respects your privacy, with no personal data monetization. Support the app's development through voluntary donations within the app.
To optimize your GPS experience and address common issues, consider these tips:
- Allow some time for the GPS signal to stabilize when starting a track.
- Restart your device and ensure an unobstructed view of the sky, away from tall buildings or dense forests.
- Be mindful of changing conditions affecting GPS reception, such as weather, season, satellite positioning, and areas with poor coverage.
- Activate the "Location" setting on your phone.
- Set your phone to automatically update date, time, and time zone to prevent delays in GPS signal acquisition.
- Ensure airplane mode is disabled.
If these tips don't resolve your issues, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Note that Google Maps uses additional data from surrounding Wi-Fi and mobile networks for enhanced location accuracy.
