About Easy GPS logger
Use your phone as a GPS logger, for example in order to geotag photos.
This app turns on GPS and records your location (once per second) to a log file in standard GPX format.
Although you can use it for other things, such as recording the route when you take a walk, the main use of these files is to add location data to photos that you have taken with a separate camera that doesn't have a built-in GPS.
It works as follows:
1. Use this app to record a GPX file while you take photos.
2. Send the GPX file to your home computer. You can use the built-in 'share' function to send it by email or to Google Drive or similar services, or you can connect the phone to your computer via USB and transfer the file manually.
3. Using suitable software on your PC, such as Adobe Lightroom, load the GPX file and also the photos that you took. Lightroom can then geotag (add location data to) all the photos based on the time they were taken and the corresponding location from the GPX file.
This app is free, contains no ads, and does not require internet access. There is an option to leave a tip if you like the software (via the in-app purchase mechanism), but this is entirely optional - all functions are available for free.
The GPX position log files are kept entirely on your phone and are not sent anywhere (unless you send it yourself)! This app won't violate your privacy.
While logging your location, a clear notification icon is displayed to indicate that logging is ongoing.
Two cautions:
* Although the app makes an effort to filter out bad data, it does entirely rely on your phone's GPS. The recorded logs may be inaccurate if your phone's GPS is inaccurate.
* While logging, your phone is not able to enter full sleep mode (it has to keep recording your location). As a result the battery will drain faster than usual. Before using this app for a long period of time, try for an hour or so to get an idea of battery usage.
Neither of these are under the app's control, so please be aware of them now. That said, for me it works fine and I'm using this personally to geotag all my photos.

I use this constantly and have never had any problems. Very accurate and, most importantly, battery friendly.

Great app for recording tracks. I always use it in areas not yet mapped and upload the tracks onto a mapping platform.

Pls fix error regarding finishing the recording. Somehow along the way it cuts of and stays unfinished.

Great app. Does exactly what it says. Only option I'd add is the ability to change interval. From 1 second to several minutes (and everything between) would be great addition but still great app regardless.

I'm running this on a tablet with a Bluetooth GPS unit. Works flawlessly, incredibly simple and exactly what I needed. Other apps promise recording without internet access but this app delivers. Will be looking at other apps from this developer.

A good app for recording GPS traces to later upload to OpenStreetMap. Simple to use and not overly cluttered with unnecessary functionality.

Does exactly what it says; it's simple and effective. No intrusive ads, just does what it is supposed to. GPX files export with ease through standard sharing feature, e.g., to Google Drive. These files can then be imported without modification to Lightroom. Since my camera does not have GPS, I run this app on all my photo hikes to geotag my photos after import.

Seems to record GPS track just fine, and exports to Google Drive. Tested on Nexus 5X.

I'm preparing a trip to the US, and I plan on tracing my every move. It seems to get the job done. It's perfect for geotagging photos with Lightroom. I'm syncing the folder where it stores GPX files with my Synology Cloudstation application. It works but it is constantly syncing as Easy GPS Logger is running if I have data. It may be convenient to store part files and finished files in different folders, so it allows to sync only finished files (constant syncing is a data and battery hog). Great app, thanks!
