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

[Simon Poole]

I don't expect side loading to be a thing for very much longer. Given googles crack down on anything using location, see https://twitter.com/vespucci_editor/status/1331541328883298306 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.

    Gps logger was perfect, unfortunately :

        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
        <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.
        https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSMTracker_(Android)
        <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSMTracker_(Android)>

        I’m not on Android right now but I’ve used both these OSS apps
        for years.

        Father Christmas came early this year, and has delivered to

        I want to use it to trace some tracks on a local nature
        reserve. What
        app(s) do you recommend for this?
