About Tect O Trak

Tect O Trak is an Android Gps track and finds recording application. Specifically designed for metal detectorists, by a detectorist. This is the app we were all waiting for. I got fed up with waiting, so I had a go at developing it myself! I hope you like it. Your feedback and support will be greatly appreciated.

This application allows the user to track and record their movements within a predefined area. Searches can be saved and resumed. Additionally, you can also mark/ revisit find spots, and make detailed photo and text records of your finds. You can also view and interact with your files on Google Earth using the Kml export tool.

For detailed instructions how to use Tect O Trak, please visit http://historyhunters.co.uk/tectotrak/

You can view a demonstration video showing how to create a new search area and the find recording process here :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu2J29R3pg4


If you have the slightest issue, please contact me directly by email :- MarkSeeleyUK@gmail.com


Ideally, you should turn on both gps and Tect O Trak at least five minutes before you actually start detecting/recording. This will give the gps time to settle and get a good moving fix on you, You will benefit with a more accurate starting point..


A personal message from the author.
I am not a professional developer. My interest is purely in metal detecting. Although I am the designer, I have to hire in people to do the actual hard coding. If you like Tect O Trak, please show your support by purchasing the app, also leaving a review in the playstore. This will go some way towards helping me develop the app further. I have lots more innovative ideas to implement, all dedicated to the specialised needs of the detectorist. With a little support from the community it will be interesting to see how far I can take it!


***** VERY IMPORTANT ****

Some users have recently reported that after upgrading to Android 5.0 they have experienced some issues with their devices GPS. This is caused by a documented defect in the Android 5.0 'GPS Lock' coding, and affects a number of devices. If you think this affects you, please download install the app 'GPS Locker' https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentlexx.gpslock&hl=en Once installed, open the app. go to settings and enable 'Auto lock on GPS on' This is a satisfactory temporary work around until Android release the fix..

Any questions, suggestions, or ideas, please address to :- MarkSeeleyUK@gmail.com

Be lucky,

Mark.

I've been using the app for just over 2 years now, and it's never let me down. Keep up the great work Mark! One feature request I have is to be able to categorise finds so I can selectively show one or more categories. E.g. just show me stars for coins, or for coins and buttons etc.

I own a Samsung S6 Edge, Android 5. The torch function does not work, not a deal breaker. *** EDIT*** With great support from the developer, a little time and understanding on my side I was shown the correct way to utilize the apps functions.

Awesome App. This is what all apps should be. It is clear Mark is a passionate detectorist who saw a need for this exact type of app and has taken the time to develop it and make it available to all. The Tect O Trak app installed without any issues and all functions work as designed. As others have mentioned in their reviews and forum topics, this app will only get better in time. Thank you Mark for bringing a much needed app to all. You Rock!!! J

I've been using the Lite version of this app for about a year and a half now and I love it. I have just upgraded to the full version and I know I'm going to love it even more than the free version!

Works perfectly on my phone gives me a lot better idea of where i have and havant been

R70%
by R####:

This is by far the best app for knowing where youve been in the feilds, paid version is supperb, aswell as the lite version. Paid unlimited tracks and the ability to choose color for the tracks per each day or whatever you choose is even better. If you dont have this app your missing out

it did not work for me, shows me across a different field, after the great support, i was able to get everything working. thank you for the help. well worth the money, just for the support thanks again

I have tried others but this has the best lay out, and is very user friendly. Thanks for a great app. One option for the future could be picture upload to a detector website to help each other identify finds.

I've been using this app on several areas now, and I'm quite pleased. Really helps see where I've been and manage my hunts. Well worth it for full app, I look forward to seeing further updates. The developer has been very helpful with any questions I have had. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a way to record and manage your metal detecting. The perfect marriage between two of my most favorite things, metal detecting, and GIS.

by L####:

I used this app for the first time on Sunday on a group dig, all I can say is I'm very impressed. The stand out feature for me is being able to view which parts of the field I've missed while I'm in the field. The only reason I've given 4 stars and not 5 is the fact I couldn't get the photo recording to work as it kept saying error? Maybe I was doing something wrong. Need to play around with it some more.

WoW... Talked to the App Designer, identified my issue, fixed it and this App now runs like a dream. SO many features every Deteriorate needs and wants!

by K####:

I hope the dev keeps supporting it. It's a great app so far. One awesome thing is that it pre caches an area so even if you are in a bad zone you still have a clear map.
