About GPS Keeper Pro

This application persistently keeps GPS enabled even when the screen turns off. That way you will not lose gps fix when your phone goes to sleep.

Advantages from Lite version:
  ♦  No advertisements
  ♦  Notification displays satellite status and current location data
  ♦  Smaller size
  ♦  Widget, so you can start/stop the application from main screen
  ♦  App shutdown from notification bar(Android 4.2 and newer)
  ♦  Auto shutdown if screen is off for specified number of minutes
  ♦  Auto shutdown if battery gets below set percentage
  ♦  It can auto start on boot
  ♦  Less permissions needed

This application is very useful when you are using any application that uses GPS, such as Google Maps, Geocaching, ...

For some phones, the app even makes the GPS refresh faster so you are getting better location informations and better accuracy. Please keep in mind that this happens only on some phones!

Permissions
Application requires some permissions. Let me explain why:
  ♦  Fine GPS location: Well, you want it to access GPS, right? :)
  ♦  Boot status: To be able to start at boot if set so in settings
  ♦  Modify system settings: To get background image of the phone. I do understand that this is not logical and I agree, but the app crashes without this permission on some phones :(

Of course, when you are using this app, GPS is constantly on so the battery might get depleted faster.

This application might not work with all the phones, as some of the manufacturers modify the Android in a way that disables the application to function properly. That kind of behaviour has been noticed on, but not limited to, some Alcatel phones.
Please test the Lite version of this app first, to see if it works.

In case of bugs:
Every application sooner or later has a bug. If you find one, please inform me so I can solve the issue. You can also contact me if you have suggestion for improving the app. I will gladly listen to your suggestions!

I've been using this for a while now with Locus. It keeps the GPS active even when Locus is stopped, which means I don't have to wait for Locus to to do a GPS fix before it starts recording tracks - it starts immediately, and I don't lose GPS in between recording tracks. Over the last few journeys the only time I've lost GPS is in a railway tunnel, and a fix is obtained very quickly on leaving the tunnel. I hope it stays nice and simple with no added "features"

My phone would always turn off the GPS even when it was supposed to be saving a track. Not good when hiking/hunting/etc. Plus I usually have no cell coverage out in the bush, so the phone only has the GPS, which can take a long time to get a new fix. This solves the problem by not losing it in the first place. Doesn't use much more power.
