The trip was exhausting but memorable. On the way back to Beijing, someone asked us where we had started and ended our journey. Unfortunately, no one could give an accurate answer. At that moment, I felt a sense of sadness in my heart. Perhaps my life would be like this too. No matter how much I experience or how much I endure, in the end, it will all be forgotten. No one will remember our past. Just like our trip, it will soon be forgotten. That's why I created this app that can record one's life journey. ··································· # Features Different from ordinary trajectory recording apps, Footprint supports the display of massive data with a scale of millions, and trajectory recording requires no user operation and consumes extremely low power in the background.
