About

GPS Beagle

Features
Read full description

GPS Beagle is meant to make it easy for you to track your trips without having to remember to start/stop anything. It will run in background, using between 2 and 5% of your battery in exchange for 24/7 route logging. You can then visualize it by selecting a time interval of interest. The route will be colored by days, and can be exported to Files, or other GPX friendly apps.
