About this app

GPS Log is a fast, lightweight GPS coordinate logger, waypoint manager, and direction finder with a clean, focused interface for anyone who needs to capture, organize, and navigate to saved locations in the field.

Log your GPS position with a single tap, then use the built-in compass arrow to navigate back to any saved waypoint with real-time distance, bearing, turn cues, and arrival detection — no internet required.

KEY FEATURES
• One-tap location logging with name, notes, groups, and tags
• Auto-logging by time, distance, or both — with pause/resume and optional auto-pause when stationary
• Direction finder compass with live bearing, distance, and turn-by-turn cues
• 8 coordinate formats: Decimal Degrees (DD), DDM, DMS, UTM, MGRS, Plus Codes, Maidenhead, GEOREF
• Export and import GPX, KML, GeoJSON, CSV, JSON
• Filter, search, and bulk-export from the log viewer
• Home-screen widgets for instant logging and sharing
• Open coordinates in Google Maps, OsmAnd, or any installed map app
• 100% local storage — your locations never leave your device

BUILT FOR THE FIELD
• Military and tactical users working in MGRS or UTM grid references
• Law enforcement marking incident scenes, evidence locations, and patrol checkpoints
• Search and rescue (SAR) teams tracking grid-search progress and rendezvous points
• Park rangers logging trail markers, wildlife sightings, and patrol routes
• Surveyors, geologists, archaeologists, and field researchers capturing study sites
• Hunters, anglers, and trappers marking stands, blinds, and hot spots
• Hikers, geocachers, off-roaders, sailors, pilots, and backcountry travelers

WHY GPS LOG
No accounts. No location data leaves your device. No clutter. Internet is used only to serve a small banner ad — the app itself makes no network calls with your coordinates. Works offline, with all your logged waypoints available for navigation, export, and sharing.

Whether you're plotting an MGRS grid for a search pattern, marking trail incidents on patrol, dropping a pin on a fishing spot, or recording survey points for a study, GPS Log gives you a reliable, fast, distraction-free tool that just works.

Simple by design. Powerful by function.

What’s new

- Pause and resume auto-logging directly from the main screen
- New optional setting: auto-pause when stationary, auto-resume when you start moving
- Quick tag/group button to label every auto-logged point without diving into Settings
- Exports now use clear, timestamped filenames (gpslog_export_yyyyMMdd_HHmmss)
- Fixed: tapping the Log tab after using Direction Finder no longer wedges navigation
- Tidied Settings — Auto-Log start/stop now lives only on the main screen
