Hi Telegram friends!
💡 After switching to a google free phone, I found this privacy focused GPS tracker app opentracks. I've been using it for a while now and can only recommend it for people, who like to track outdoor activities. (The version on Play store is only available with a donation. Alternatively, you can get it on F-Droid.)
📝 The app basically just writes the recorded GPS data on to your phone and doesn't upload it to the internet. In fact you don't need the internet to use it. (It doesn't consume much battery I find.)
🗺 To view the data on a map you can use the OSMDashboard and you need the openstreetmap data downloaded on your phone. (If you haven't got an OSM app I'd recommend the lightweight app OrganicMaps.)
📊 Of course, you'll have stats like duration, distance and speed; and you can view elevation and speed on a graph.
📌 You can also add markers during the recording with a little note or picture to record your activity or a certain spot. For example I mark when I take a longer break in the activity, but don't want to stop the recording.
🖼 I've uploaded some of screenshots of my tracks in the comments. 😉
You can track all kinds of transportation vehicles.
Thanks for reading!
💬 Let me know what GPS or sports tracking app you use and what you think of opentracks. 😊
