## What is Route Tracking?

*** The GPS tracker app***

Ever wanted to track your route in a new city that you are or just while you're riding your bike? This is the app for you. 
This app can be used to track your location by using the devices' built in GPS sensor. You can start tracking from wherever you are pause it, resume it, stop it, whatever you like to do during your trip.

While tracking you can close the app and do other things with your phone, the app still records location movements and once you finished with all of the other activities the route that you took will be displayed on the map.

Features:

• ability to track your location via GPS
• ability to save your routes
• ability to export the saved tracking in GPX format (only for upgraded users)
• ability to share route informations on social network sites like (Facebook and Twitter), and also via email
• daily summary information about your routes that you took on the same day
• ability to change the speed format from km/h to mph or nautical miles/knots

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

### 1/5 — Simply doesn’t work

*2023-10-08*

This app only tracks your position when the screen is unlocked and the app is foregrounded. After a 30 minute, 3.5 mile run it told me I went 0.5 miles in 46 seconds. The GPS trace on the map was a triangle with perfectly straight lines between points hundreds of yards apart. 

I’ve tried other route tracking apps. This is the only one that fails that simple basic test. 

Laughable. Don’t waste your time. 

I enabled GPS with exact position and “use always”.

### 5/5 — Think it’s brilliant!

*2023-09-28*

I use it to record and save my students routes on their driving lessons. Never let me down yet and very easy to use.

### 5/5 — Playback?

*2022-12-17, version 1.0*

Can you playback a saved Route you recorded?

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work !

*2022-12-04*

Set tracking going, it recorded the first few miles okay then stopped .... it just drew straight lines between a couple of map locations

### 1/5 — Crash every time

*2017-10-27*

Totally useless. It crashes every time when I click "Stop Tracking"
