I’m looking for recommendations for an Android app to track and report GPS-type data (if such an app exists). Specifically, I’m hoping to be able to extract stops, origin/destination, roads/route traveled, and speed information.
Two use cases:
- Friend does an ad-hoc delivery service where requests are phoned in when they’re needed rather than scheduled ahead of time. The ability to see where they started, where they went, and what roads/distance they traveled as they scurry about all day without having to enter it all manually into a map program later on would be invaluable to calculating expenses.
- Same friend was pulled over, while I was also in the vehicle, for speeding but was definitely not exceeding the speed limit. I would’ve loved to be able to pull up some GPS data that said what speed we were going at the time on the road in question.
I use GPSLogger to create my monthly travel log for my employer. You can fine-tune it pretty well and it works almost as well as Google’s location timeline while not having to rely on Google’s appetite for personal data.
I use its built-in ssh upload feature to get my data transferred to my SBC at home.
