Local Driving App
Local Driving App
Google Maps is changing and will keep drive log data on the phone. I like to go on photo-drives following roads to find "Kodak moments", I also would like a map of my random rambles. I would prefer that the data for that map be locally collected on my phone but the map itself uploadable to my laptop. Does anyone have an App for that?
How nice does the user experience have to be? OpenTracks is a decent app for recording GPX tracks (if some map application supports importing tracks from outside the app, it will definitely support GPX), but that's the only thing it does - you don't even get a map in the app.
Well the map is the whole point. I tried out MapMyDrive today so now the only question is can I screenshot the map it gives and get that to my computer.
I get that, but my understanding was that you want to be able to see the map after the trip, not necessarily during it. Which is pretty much what I do with OpenTracks - record my trips and then import them to NextCloud where I can see a big map of all of them combined or look at some specific ones. And there's plenty of Android apps that can import GPX to do the same.
But if MapMyDrive works well for you, then it's a moot point - enjoy what works.
I am currently auditioning "MapMyDrive"
Sounds like you wanna record a gpx track.
I am not sure what that is, but I would like as a final product a map showing the route taken. I can't wait for the next opportunity to drive a distance to see what "MapMyDrive" provides.
It is a standardized file format specifically for recording GPS coordinates along a path/route. Many third-party applications on all different platforms can import these GPX files and display them on a map.
