About GPS Rocket Locator
Rocket Locator is a software to track your lost model rocket.
Web site: http://rocketlocator.com
There is a GPS module in the rocket and It transmits the signal to the android phone via radio telemetry. I coded a functional and cool android software that use google maps api to track the rocket.
It’s basically google maps api with two gps positions: your position and the rocket position. Here is the main features:
- Current rocket distance from you.
- Rocket altitude (GPS altitude)
- Enable/disable follow me, for manually moving the map
- Can save the path of the rocket in a Google earth compatible
- Always record the last rocket position, in case you close accidentally the application, you can load the last position and continue your quest.
- In case you lost signal, it reconnects automatically when the rocket is back in the range.
- Rocket compass that rotate the map in the rocket direction (instead of north).
I have successfully found my lost rocket many times with this system.
If you have any questions (You will probably have a lot),visit http://rocketlocator.com or send me an email at: fantasiiio@hotmail.com
p.s. If you are not able to make it work, don't put a feekback of 1 star... just uninstall it.

I have been using this app for about a year now. lots of high power launches including my L2 to over 14k feet. every one recovered easily with rocket locator. I wish it was easier to save each flight as a kml file, although it can be done if you save the rocket path then go to the rocketpath file and rename it.

Useful app but would be better if map cache could be set and the maps downloaded for use in an area without internet access.

The first time I tried using it without any extra info or adjustment in settings A nice add on would be able to store flight info alt and landing coordinates. I don't know if it's even possible to do from the app??

Nice app. Very useful, but off-line stored maps are needed out in the field! We fly in foreign countries and the roaming costs prevent us from using it. Please add this feature to make it perfect! :-)

7/20 version is working well. Can cache. This will be great for field use. A little quirkiness for offline downloads but this is a real winner now. Extended testing of off line caching continues to go well. For devices with internet access works as well as ever. The best version yet!
