Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

BasicAirData GPS Logger is a simple App for recording your position and your path. It's a basic and lightweight GPS tracker focused on accuracy, with an eye to power saving. It works offline (without internet connection), it has NO integrated maps. This app is very accurate in determining the orthometric height (the altitude above sea level), if you enable the automatic altitude correction on settings. You can record all your trips, view them with any installed external viewer, directly from the in-app tracklist, and share them in KML, GPX, and TXT format in many ways. The app is 100% Free and Open Source. GETTING STARTED GUIDE: https://www.basicairdata.eu/projects/android/android-gps-logger/getting-started-guide-for-gps-logger/ IT FEATURES: - A modern UI, with a low consumption dark theme and a tabbed interface - Offline recording (the app has no integrated maps) - Foreground & Background Recording (On Android 6+ please turn off all battery monitoring and optimizations for this app) - Creation of annotations also meanwhile recording - Visualization of GPS information - Manual Altitude Correction (adding an overall offset) - Automatic Altitude Correction (you can enable it on Settings). If your device doesn't have Internet access, you can enable this feature manually by following this simple tutorial: https://www.basicairdata.eu/projects/android/android-gps-logger/application-note-gpslogger/manual-setup-of-the-egm-altitude-correction-for-basic-air-data-gps-logger/ - Real time track statistics - In-app tracklist showing the list of recorded tracks - Visualization of your tracks using any installed KML/GPX viewer, directly from the Tracklist - Track exportation in KML, GPX, and TXT - Track sharing, in KML, GPX, and TXT format, via E-mail, Dropbox, Google Drive, FTP, ... - Uses Metric, Imperial, or Nautical units USE IT TO: ☆ Keep track of your trips ☆ Make accurate static and dynamic measurements ☆ Add your placemarks ☆ Remember the best places you've seen ☆ GeoTag your photos ☆ Share your tracks with your friends ☆ Collaborate to OpenStreetMap map editing LANGUAGES: The translation of this app is based on users contribution. Everyone can freely help in translations using Crowdin (https://crowdin.com/project/gpslogger). F.A.Q: In case of any issue, you may find it helpful to read the frequently asked questions (https://github.com/BasicAirData/GPSLogger/blob/master/readme.md#frequently-asked-questions). IMPORTANT NOTES: In GPS Logger the Location is always accessed (started) when the App is in Foreground, and then is kept active also in background. On Android 10+ the app needs the Location permission "only while using the app". It doesn't need the "all the time" permission. Depending on your Android Version, if you want to run GPS Logger reliably in background, you have to disable ALL the battery optimisations. For example you could verify in Android Settings, Apps, GPS Logger, Battery that the Background Activity is allowed and the Battery Usage is Not Optimised.
