If you're passionate about tracking your adventures, analyzing your stats, and sharing them with friends, then Geo Tracker is the perfect GPS app for you. Whether you're using Open Street Maps or Google Maps, this app is designed for those who love outdoor activities and travel.

Geo Tracker is your go-to tool for:

• Navigating back through unfamiliar areas without losing your way;
• Sharing your routes with your friends;
• Utilizing routes shared by others in GPX, KML, or KMZ formats;
• Marking significant or interesting points along your journey;
• Finding a specific location on the map using its coordinates;
• Showcasing colorful screenshots of your achievements on social networks.

Within the app, you can explore your tracks and the surrounding environment using detailed maps from OSM or Google, as well as satellite imagery from Google or Mapbox. This ensures you have access to comprehensive maps anywhere in the world. The areas you view are cached on your device, allowing for offline access, which works particularly well with OSM maps and Mapbox's satellite images. To record and analyze your track statistics, you only need a GPS signal; internet access is only required for downloading map images.

For a seamless driving experience, activate the navigation mode to see the map automatically rotate in the direction of your travel, enhancing your navigation ease.

The app supports background tracking on many devices, although this may require specific system configurations - detailed instructions are provided within the app. Geo Tracker optimizes power usage in the background, allowing for up to a full day of recording on a single charge. An economy mode can also be activated in the settings to conserve even more power.

Geo Tracker provides detailed statistics including:

• Distance traveled and recording duration;
• Maximum and average speed;
• Time and average speed while in motion;
• Minimum and maximum altitude, altitude difference;
• Vertical distance, ascent, and speed;
• Minimum, maximum, and average slope.

Additionally, you can view detailed charts of speed and elevation data.

Your recorded tracks can be saved in GPX, KML, and KMZ formats, making them compatible with other popular applications such as Google Earth or Ozi Explorer. Your data remains on your device and is not transferred to any servers.

The app does not rely on ads or personal data for revenue. Instead, you can support the development of Geo Tracker through voluntary in-app donations.

Here are some helpful tips and tricks to address common GPS issues on your smartphone:

• Allow some time for the GPS signal to be acquired when you start tracking.
• Restart your smartphone and ensure you have a clear view of the sky, free from obstructions like tall buildings or dense forests.
• Be aware that GPS reception can be affected by weather, season, satellite positioning, and areas with poor coverage.
• Activate the "Location" feature in your phone's settings.
• Set your phone to automatically update "Date & time" and "Time zone" to avoid delays in finding the GPS signal due to incorrect settings.
• Ensure airplane mode is turned off.

If these tips do not resolve your issues, consider uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

Note that Google Maps uses not only GPS data but also data from nearby WLAN and mobile networks for location accuracy.
