Overland tracks your location and sends your data to a server of your choosing. The app will save data while you're offline, and send it to the server later in batches. Highly configurable tracking settings for optimal control. Choose between getting highly detailed track logs (and using tons of battery in the process), or tracking only significant movements allowing you to conserve battery life. Track bike rides, runs, walks, car trips, train trips and more. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
