About this app

If you are looking for an excellent GPS tracker, that can work with Open Street Maps or Google, love outdoor activities, or travel - this is the app for you!


Record GPS tracks of your trips, analyze statistics, and share them with your friends!


Geo Tracker can help:
• Making the way back in an unfamiliar area without getting lost;
• Sharing your route with friends;
• Using someone else's route from GPX, KML or KMZ file;
• Marking important or interesting points on your way;
• Locating a point on the map, if you know its coordinates;
• Showing off colorful screenshots of your accomplishments on social networks.


You can view the tracks and the surrounding area in the application using a scheme from OSM or Google, as well as satellite images from Google or Mapbox - this way you will always have the most detailed map of the area anywhere worldwide. The map areas you view are saved to your phone and remain available offline for a while (this works best for OSM maps and Mapbox's satellite images). To record and calculate track statistics only a GPS signal is needed - the Internet is only required to download map images.


While driving, you can turn on the navigation mode, in which the map automatically rotates in the direction of travel, which greatly simplifies navigation.


The application can record tracks while being in the background (on many devices, this requires additional configuration in the system - be careful! The instructions for these settings are available in the application). Power consumption in background mode is greatly optimized - on average, the phone's charge is enough for a whole day of recording. There's also an economy mode - you can turn it on in the app settings.


Geo Tracker calculates the following statistics:
• Distance traveled and recording time;
• Max and average speed on the track;
• Time and average speed in motion;
• Min and max altitude on the track, altitude difference;
• Vertical distance, ascent and speed;
• Min, max, and average slope.


Also, there are detailed charts of speed and elevation data available.


Recorded tracks can be stored as GPX, KML, and KMZ files, so they can be used in other well-known applications like Google Earth or Ozi Explorer. Tracks are stored locally on your device and are not transferred to any servers.


The app does not make money from ads or your personal data. To support the development of the project, a voluntary donation can be made in the application.


Useful tips & tricks to solve common GPS issues with your smartphone:
• If you start the tracking please wait a bit until the GPS signal is found.
• Restart your smartphone and make sure that you have a "clear view" of the sky before you start (no disturbing objects like high buildings, forests, etc.).
• The reception conditions are permanently changing because they are influenced by the following factors: weather, season, positioning of satellites, areas with bad GPS coverage, high buildings, forests, etc.).
• Go to phone settings, choose "Location" and activate it.
• Go to phone settings, choose "Date & time" and activate the following options: "Automatic date & time" and "Automatic time zone". It may occur that it takes longer until the GPS signal is found if your smartphone is set to the wrong time zone.
• Deactivate the airplane mode in your phone settings.


If none of these tips & tricks helped to solve your issues, deinstall the app and reinstall it again.
Be aware that Google uses in their Google Maps app not only the GPS data but also additional data of the current location from surrounding WLAN networks and/or mobile networks.

Ratings and reviews

This app seems to have unique gremlins depending upon which device is used. I've lately been using it with my SG 20 Ultra phone & this is the most frustrating experience with the app yet as the Elevation Chart, for no particular reason, keeps switching to full screen while on my jaunts. Trying to get back to the main statistics screen I occasionally hit the red Pause button. Of course, I won't know this until the end of the jaunt. Charts should not pop up with a slight touch to the screen.

The absolute best app for tracking your movements - walks, runs, bike trips, car trips, train trips, whatever. The UI is sublime in its simplicity and power. Ability to add waypoints and pin them to the track during and after the recording with information about when the waypoint was visited, distance from the beginning of the track, etc. is exactly what I need in an app of this sort. So disappointed to see it lose support and not be updated. But I still use it. In this day and age, an app that is still completely usable 3 years after its last update may be unheard of, but that is the power of getting it right the first time around.

Update... The app has stopped recording tracks. Tried it on two different S10's on 3 flights. Use it to record during flights. To show people where they went during the flight. So they can share it with others. Like being able to show multiple tracks it would be nice if you could have them in different colors. One of the biggest items would be to change the width of the track along with the color. To make it more visible on the screen protector since I do screen captures to email to people.

What's new

- Added support for GPX files with tags;
- Improved KML/KMZ importing;
- Added an option to hide the "My location" button from the screen;
