Retrace My Steps (Find Car)

Retrace My Steps is a service that tracks your location history for a limited span of time. The location map shows position by timestamp and color-codes whether you were walking/running at any given moment. The span of time depicted in the map can be modified with a time filter.

Applications:

- Find a parked vehicle, without having to remember to tag its location.
- Find your way back to a previously visited location.
- Determine where you were at a given time (within the limited span recorded.)

Features:

- Location history data is stored in the private storage of your device.
- Ability to remove all history.
- Ability to filter the span of time viewed in the map of tracked locations.
- Distinguishes between walking/running (green lines) and other types of motion (blue lines).
- Feature that attempts to determine where your vehicle is parked.
- GPS locations are only requested when motion is detected, in order to save power.
- Configurable options: How long until location entries are automatically deleted, the maximum GPS inaccuracy allowed for each location entry, etc.

Usage notes:

- GPS accuracy is better outdoors.
- If you use a service that kills Android applications, it is recommended that you disable the service as it applies to Retrace My Steps. In Smart Manager, for example, select Battery, App Power Saving / Detail, find Retrace My Steps, and switch "App power saving" off.
- The sticky foreground service notification can be removed by disabling notifications from the Retrace My Steps application.
