Read full descriptionHide full description
Simple GPX Tracker is a minimalist location tracker. No routing, no waypoints, no geocaching, no statistics, just a track in a GPX file. Its intended purpose is to live quietly in the background and keep track of your location for geotagging. The management of the GPX-tracks is delegated to the Files App.
