Description
• 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
