- no Google Services dependencies, only necessary permissions (fine and coarse location, internet, foreground service)
- connects to several online map providers
- acceptable performance on slow GPRS-EDGE networks; may find coarse location by phone cell without GPS; may create waypoints with GPS without phone and internet connections
- displays and saves cell info ( MCC, MNC, LAC, CID ) and the signal strength ( RSRP/dBm )
- all waypoints are stored on a memory card and may be organized in any number of files (by regions etc.)
- waypoint lists may be exported or imported in the GPX format, compatible with many navigators and software
- finds location only by explicit user's command, so is very mild on the battery
- capable of writing tracks (by means of a foreground service) and exporting them in the GPX format
- tracks from other devices (GPX files) may be viewed along with your data
- NOT implemented: map offline caching, routing, editing tracks, photo and video attachments, serving cold beer :)
- for pure open distributions, that lack API keys and access to some services, there are options to enter user's own keys
Anti-Features: NonFreeNet: This application promotes or entirely depends a non-Free network service.
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
