Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast or a seasoned traveler, Geo Tracker is designed to enhance your journey. Capture your GPS tracks, delve into detailed statistics, and effortlessly share your experiences with friends!
Geo Tracker offers a multitude of features to enrich your exploration:
- Never lose your way in unfamiliar territories with reliable navigation assistance.
- Share your meticulously planned routes with friends, making group adventures smoother.

Within the app, you can view your tracks and the surrounding areas using detailed maps from OSM or Google, as well as high-resolution satellite imagery from Google or Mapbox. This ensures you have the most comprehensive map coverage, even in remote corners of the world. Conveniently, viewed map sections are cached on your device, allowing offline access for a period (this feature is optimized for OSM maps and Mapbox's satellite images). All you need to record and analyze your tracks is a GPS signal; internet connectivity is only necessary for downloading map images.
Enhance your driving experience with the navigation mode, where the map dynamically rotates to align with your direction of travel, making navigation a breeze.
Geo Tracker can continue to record your tracks in the background, although this may require specific device settings adjustments (detailed instructions are provided within the app). The app's background mode is optimized for power efficiency, typically lasting a full day on a single charge. Additionally, an economy mode can be activated in the app settings to further conserve battery life.
The app provides comprehensive statistics on your journeys, including:
- Total distance traveled and recording duration.
- Maximum and average speeds throughout your track.
- Time spent in motion and average speed during those periods.
- Minimum and maximum altitude, along with the altitude difference.
- Vertical distance, ascent, and vertical speed.
- Minimum, maximum, and average slope of your route.
Additionally, detailed charts of speed and elevation are available for an in-depth analysis of your trip.
Your recorded tracks can be saved in GPX, KML, and KMZ formats, ensuring compatibility with other popular applications such as Google Earth and Ozi Explorer. Rest assured, your data remains stored locally on your device and is never transferred to external servers.
Geo Tracker is committed to privacy, opting not to monetize through ads or the sale of personal data. If you wish to support the app's development, you can make a voluntary donation within the application.
Here are some helpful tips and tricks to address common GPS issues on your smartphone:
- Allow some time for your device to acquire a GPS signal before starting your tracking session.
- Restart your smartphone and ensure you have an unobstructed view of the sky to enhance signal reception.
- Be mindful that GPS reception can be affected by various factors such as weather, seasonal changes, satellite positioning, areas with poor GPS coverage, tall buildings, or dense forests.
- Enable the "Location" feature in your phone's settings.
- In your phone's settings, under "Date & time," enable "Automatic date & time" and "Automatic time zone" to prevent delays in GPS signal acquisition due to incorrect time settings.
- Ensure airplane mode is turned off in your phone settings.
If these suggestions don't resolve your issues, consider uninstalling and reinstalling the app.
It's worth noting that Google Maps utilizes not only GPS data but also data from surrounding WLAN networks and mobile networks to determine your location.
