Re: [OSM-talk] Making GPS tracks in Android

2020-12-21 Thread Simon Poole 
Non-open apps will typically use googles play services fused location 
provider, which as the name implies doesn't just use GNSS data. For 
generating tracks it is unsuitable in any case so a pure tracker is 
unlikely going to use it.

for some of the drama, it would seem to be silly to leave that
avenue open. Definitely you are going to run in to problems as
soon as you start building against more recent SDK.

Andy,

If you would like something lightweight that just does
GPS track recording, I would recommend GPS Logger
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GPS_Logger_for_Android
 .
A nice bonus is that you can have the app automatically
upload your tracks to OSM in whatever privacy mode you
choose. It can also sync with Nextcloud, Dropbox etc.

OSMTracker offers a little more functionality like
recording waypoints with specific, configurable notes,
and recording audio notes.

I started using Smash[0] which is the "successor" of Geopaparazzi.
Apart the logging feature there's an annotation feature and customizable
forms, baselayers,
geotagged pictures and export to gpx,

Re: [OSM-talk] Making GPS tracks in Android

2020-12-20 Thread Hauke Stieler 
Hi,

there are some information about this on learnOSM [0] including apps to create 
GPS tracks. I used OsmAnd, GPSLogger (nice for hiking because it has a lot of 
power saving options) but currently I use OSMTracker to just create tracks. 
Sometimes I want to create notes or photos but I use OsmAnd or GeoNotes for 
that.
