Battery efficient location tracker & geotagger. Doesn't use GPS, WiFi, BT or net
Features:
• Offline location tracking
• Sharing of your location. Use SMS if offline
• Detailed view of recorded journeys on map
• Export routes as KML
• Automatic batch geotagging of photos
• Backup and restore of saved data to device storage
This app uses information from mobile towers around you to track your location, instead of using power hungry GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth or an internet connection. It works offline.
This app is ideal for long distance road travellers who do not have data packs or want to save battery during the trip by turning off data and not using GPS, without losing the ability to track location or to store location in photos.
Note:
⦿ The range of a mobile tower can be in kilometers. If you are looking for high accuracy or only go on short journeys, this app is not for you and you may not install it.
⦿ You need internet to load the map or to resolve the recorded mobile tower info into geo coordinates. You can do this anytime later, maybe after you are back home.
Geotagging pics
To geotag pics, just put this app in recording mode while you click photos. When you get home, you just need to resolve the locations recorded and start the geotagger. The geotagger automatically selects locations from your records, based on the time when the picture was taken.
I added this because I don't want GPS-like accuracy in photos, but just want to know whether it was taken near a monument or at the railway station area. And waiting for GPS to fix before photographing life's short moments is not always possible. Not to mention additional data expenses if you use assisted GPS.
