GPS Logger

GPS Logger is a simple, one-button app that records your GPS track to a standard .gpx file — perfect for logging a ride, hike or drive while you film with your phone's camera.

Press START, put the phone away, press STOP. That's it.

■ HOW IT WORKS

- One fix per second: latitude, longitude, elevation and time (UTC)

- Keeps recording with the screen locked or other apps open

- Files are saved to Documents/GpsLogger/, named by start time (e.g. 2026-08-14_15-21-05.gpx)

- Copy them off with the Files app or a USB cable — no root or special tools needed

■ FEATURES

- MARK button — drop a named waypoint (M1, M2, …) at your current position, also available from the notification without unlocking the phone

- Quick Settings tile — start and stop recording from the notification shade without opening the app

- Accuracy filter — inaccurate fixes (worse than 20 m) are skipped, so your track doesn't wander at the start

- Live readout — big, easy-to-read display of time, points, accuracy and more, designed to be read at arm's length in sunlight

- Crash-safe — every point is saved as it's recorded; if the phone dies or the app is killed, the track is recovered automatically next time

■ GREAT FOR

- Syncing GPS data with action-cam or phone video

- Cycling, hiking, running and driving logs

- Importing tracks into mapping, video editing or analysis tools that support GPX

■ PRIVACY FIRST

- No internet permission — your location never leaves your phone

- No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking

- Location is used only while you are recording

■ REQUIREMENTS

- Android 10 or newer

- A device with GPS

- Location set to "Precise" ("While using the app" is enough)

GPS Logger does one thing and does it well. No maps, no social features, no clutter — just a clean GPX file when you need it.
