This tool allows you to locate your position in relation with other GPS points, to see the journey you have traveled.
You can find back your place at harbour after a trip on boat, the starting point of an excursion or locate your car in a huge car park,
A place of which you know the location,
To see the excursion you made,
Speed trap alert or lots of other things...
Tracks and saved points can be exported to GoogleEarth and to GPX standard.
Put your old tracks in the background with a system of tracing,
Put maps in the background (moving map),
Display a graph of altitude, speed or signal level. |
This kind of program uses a kml file which can be uploaded and viewed on google earth later on a desktop pc. What I am looking for, or suggesting development on would be an app which utilizes google maps with the ability of real-time tracking and the ability to add way-points. Also, is it possible to save a certain grid google maps in memory to view later when no data connection is available?
Example, before I go out in the open desert riding, I could pre-download the 50+/- square miles I will be located, add a way-point for base camp, and then have a path of where I have been by utilizing gps only without data. From what I have seen, garmin is the only this close to this that is available, but I absolutely love the sat view on google maps. I know I am describing a hand -help gps device, but don't see any reason why this couldn't be done on our gps-enabled smart phones.
