I want to say Thank You to all who replied. I/we are still evaluating the softwares suggested, and while "free" (as in beer) wasn't mentioned (and is an appreciated feature!) some of the software which costs a modest price ($1.99) also seem worthy of consideration. This research helps me/us (

I like MotionX-GPS for recording tracks. You can easily export and share them in GPX format via email. It's not free, but for a regular mapper it would be $2 well spent. You can also use OSM map tiles in the app, although I'm pretty sure that it's MotionX's own rendering, and it's not usually very

As far as I can tell, MyTracks is a super-simple application that doesn't seem like it would introduce any Google IP -- though maybe you or others have better ideas of how such a thing might occur. I've never seen a track snap to roads or trails (all of the GPX track-points seem to have the standar

Besides having all the issues Keypadmapper has squared, how do you prevent IP leakage from google to OSM? For example do you know if it employs any "lock on road" or similar technology? Simon Am 06.10.2015 um 17:47 schrieb Adam Franco: > For trail surveys and other GPS recording on Android I've b

Steve, For most of my data collection, I find that the built in photos app is actually all I use. Each photo is geotagged, which comes in handy if I forget exactly where I was when I took the photo. I end up picking up details when looking at the pictures later that I didn't originally see (phon

I've tried OsmAnd, OSMTracker and KeypadMapper 3. The latter two do not show a map. The first one does. Still prefer a dedicated GPS-device, in my case a Garmin 10 + photo camera. Reasons: * I can take more pictures and faster with the camera. All the smartphone apps requires to many clicks and

You know what I mean. This would be a Mapping Party method. Why loan out GPS hardware? OK, Android, too. Best GPS-phone-enabled app to absorb a decent Mapping Party wander and upload to a laptop. (Something like GPSBabel, but streamlined for GPS-phone-to-laptop, could be a USB cable, coul
