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.

Passeporté reads the NFC chip in your biometric passport or national eID card, verifies its authenticity, and stores the data securely on your device. WHY PASSEPORTÉ? • Keep a secure backup of your passport in case it's lost or stolen abroad — have your details ready for the embassy • Store your family's passports in one place before a trip — no shuffling documents at check-in • Check visa eligibility and entry requirements instantly — your passport number, nationality, and expiry are always at hand • Verify a passport is genuine and not tampered with — useful for landlords, notaries, or HR onboarding • Know exactly when documents expire — get alerts months ahead so you never miss a renewal before a trip • Fill out booking forms, visa applications, and hotel check-ins faster — no digging out the physical document every time • Keep a record of your old passports for visa history or proof of prior travel SCAN Point your camera at the passport data page to read the MRZ automatically, or enter details manually. For eID cards, enter the 6-digit CAN from the front of the card. READ VIA NFC Hold your device against the passport or eID card. Passeporté reads the chip using BAC (passports) or PACE (eID cards) and retrieves your photo, personal details, MRZ, and signature. VERIFY Passive Authentication verifies data integrity using the chip’s digital signature. Active Authentication confirms the chip is genuine and not cloned. STORE SECURELY All document data is encrypted using the Secure Enclave with biometric protection. Data never leaves your device — no cloud, no backups, no network access. EXPIRY ALERTS Get notified 6 months, 3 months, and 1 month before your documents expire. Never be caught off guard at the airport. PRIVACY FIRST • No internet connection required or used • No analytics, no tracking, no telemetry • Encrypted with Secure Enclave (P-256 + ECIES) • Biometry-gated access — changing biometrics erases all data • No iCloud, no backups, device-only storage
