Great app - almost perfect The app works really well on HTC One XL. Very comprehensive for the free app. Though more features desired e.g. export of speed and altitude at any given points (unless I missed something) are highly desired. Many thanks developer!

great app. lots of uses. This is an great little app. I have been looking for a way to datalog tracks for replay in Goog Earth. It took a while to get the satellite fix for me (at first, even though it could see the satellites, it still hadnt got a fix for ages), but its worth sticking with it. There are a few minor GUI issues which are not 100% intuitive - which is why its 4 not 5 stars + these will be fixed in future releases. This is the android GPS app to get.
