About this app

Multifunctional track logger for a wide range of uses
Optimized for battery-efficient long-term tracking
In-app travel diary / nautical logbook
Maps and tools for outdoor navigation

➤ LD-Log tracks your travel routes using the device's GPS receiver. Waypoints are taken either manually or automatically with a user-definable interval set in minutes. As such, the app is designed to consume very little battery power. LD-Log also offers a tracking mode, allowing you to record your movements by the second.
➤ An editable waypoint-list for each route of your trip lets you create a detailed diary of your complete journey. LD-Log will allow you to enter text or shoot photos in-app as well as import them at a later time. As a sailor, use the sail mode which lets you keep a complete nautical ship's log in an intuitive manner. Many different options are available for convenient storage of trips, routes and journals.
➤ The map view features a selection of different online map sources. Previously viewed map tiles will remain available while offline. You may also include custom offline maps. Create destination points and navigate with the help of the integrated bearing compass and the numerous map tools, whether in the open country or at sea.
➤ LD-Log can be used to document a wide range of travel situations including: hikes, bicycle tours, offshore sailing cruises, city walks, voyages, road trips, ship and boat tours, photo geotagging, collecting geo locations (POI), cartography (e.g. in forestry), etc. - for professional or recreational use.

This is the full version of LD-Log.
If you would like to try it first, search for the free version LD-Log Lite.

Awesome! OK, the UI is a bit clunky (see Flowx for an example of a great UI, albeit in a completely different field), but the information that LD-log gathers is right on, and the logging itself is very efficient. I have not used the sailing portion, but hopefully one day I will... I have no hesitation in giving the app 5 stars.

App is simple and effective. Had some issues with getting it to work (Samsung A12) but after some fiddling with power settings I got the battery optimizer to stay away from it. Other than that it does exactly what it promises. I use the offline GPS logging, map view, and multipe routes per trip for motorcycle tour logging and it works great.

I drive a narrowboat in England and use LD-Log to keep a log for myself and if asked for the Canal and River Trust (the licencing authority). I put in a trip (eg "London to Bristol") and then each day log a route (eg "Little Venice to Southhall") which is the equivalent to a page in the trip log. I save the trips onto the cloud so if I drop the phone in the cut I do not lose the logs. I particularly like having the option to take photos and add my own comments to the log.
