GPS Log is a location-first way to record your adventures. Whether you're backpacking overseas, or exploring your local neighborhood, GPS Log gives you everything you need to capture your travels, share your favorite places with your friends, and find your way back again! How it works: 1. GPS Log gets your location from your device in seconds. 2. You add photos, text, and tags (if you like). 3. Later, browse the list of saved log entries or search by text and tags. 4. Easily view logged locations on a map and get directions to return. 5. Connect with your friends by sharing single records (what we call spikes), trip maps and lifetime travel maps using our own website Geospike, and on social media. Try 'GPS Log' risk free with the 'GPS Log LITE' version. Traveling around the world and want to remember where you went? Or, going to a new coffee shop in your neighborhood? Use GPS Log to record all your adventures, great and small. GPS Log works with no data connection, great when you're far from civilization, or roaming. GPS Log preserves your battery life. Unlike some tracking tools, with GPS Log you power it up when you want to log a location - then you power it down immediately. Saving your precious battery. Log the cities you visit, rate the restaurants in your city, geotag your photographs, remember where you parked your car, or where you went out. Record the mountain, river, or run you conquered, and much much more. With GPS Log, you can log just about anything. NOTE: GPS Log works best on devices with actual GPS receivers such as the iPhone, and iPads with Cellular Data. Locations obtained on other devices may be less accurate. If you experience any issues using GPS Log, PLEASE use the links on GPS Log's Settings screen to contact us by email. When issues are left as reviews, we are unable to contact you to help.
