About this app
Out in the field and need a fresh GPX right now? Emergency GPX downloads nearby caches, saves them as a GPX file, and hands that file to the app that can get you moving again.
Simple interface: choose filters, optionally enter your username, and that is it. The app can use your current GPS position, manually typed coordinates, or a point shared from Locus Map.
Locus integration: choose a point in Locus, share it to Emergency GPX, and the downloaded file goes back into Locus automatically. The whole thing takes about 5 seconds. If something does not click on your phone, Emergency GPX still opens the GPX through Android's standard file handling or shares it onward, so other map and GPS apps can join the rescue operation too.
Good for spontaneous trips, backup plans, quick "what else is nearby?" checks, and the classic "since we are already here, let's add a few caches" decision.
Features:
• Download nearest Opencaching caches as GPX.
• Use GPS location, manual coordinates, or a point from Locus Map.
• Import the generated GPX back into Locus on Android.
• Open or share the GPX with other compatible apps.
• Filter caches before downloading.
• Skip your own finds, or keep them in the GPX and mark them as found.
• Use the phone language preference when downloading descriptions through OKAPI.
Emergency GPX is simple on purpose. It has one job: deliver a useful GPX before the group starts getting annoyed.
