Comments on GPS Essentials for Android

★★★★★ Great app in functionality and ease of use. If you are looking for a reliable offline app that is able to track, and record GPS tracks and points and be able to export them in a variety of formats (GPX, KML), this is the best app. Plenty of functionality built in as well for power users.

★★★★★ The exported GPX tracks are not OK anymore (V4.5.20). But the fix is easy Simply change <rte pt into <trkpt and change </rte pt into </trkpt After that, all is well again. (as an old IBM mainframe specialist, I created a REX script to do these changes for me. If the script were in a more common language, I'd include it here) (without this bug, I'd give it 5*)

★★★★★ When I share a point (e.g. geo:62,-7) with GPS essentials, that point is displayed on a map. But below that map, I still see my own position, my own sunrise time etc. I suppose it would be more interesting to see data for the shared point.

★★★★★ Oldest and best for tracking multi day hikes, uses the least power, great map options and rendering

★★★★★ Nice app I used this when putting a waypoint of our agri land boundary its work, I love this app.

★★☆☆☆ Something broke in the last update, GPX exported files can no longer be readable on external GPX tools, seems to be related to XLM formatting. The exported track points (trkpt) are exported as route points (rte pt) breaking compatibility

★★☆☆☆ Disappointed. 90% of the time, it cannot locate satellites (even with location service permissions enabled). Other GPS tracker apps on my pho6have no problems finding satellites. A real shame, this was previously an amazing app, but is now unreliable

★★☆☆☆ Doesn't seem to work on s24. Tracks won't track, satellites won't track unless on the satellite screen. Used it for years but new phone and latest updates make it worthless.
