A downloadable tool

PositionTracker is an Android app that automatically tracks your GPS position during configurable tour periods — built for bike vacations and multi-day trips. Set your tour dates and a day/night time window, and the app records your route as a foreground service, switching between more frequent GPS updates during the day and power-saving intervals at night.

I developed this app after repeatedly forgetting to start tracking in the morning with other tracking apps during my multi-day tours.

  Features:

  • Automatic tracking during your configured tour period, no need to remember to start/stop
  • Automatic assignment of photos to the corresponding tours and locations
  • Day/night interval switching to save battery
  • Route displayed on a map with stats (distance, speed, elevation)
  • Local storage, no cloud account required

  I'm currently looking for closed testers on Google Play to complete the required testing period before public release.
