More About OSMTracker for Android™
The application's primary function is to allow users to record GPS traces, which can be invaluable for mapping and navigation purposes. Once users have recorded their tracks, they are able to export this data in GPX format. This format is particularly useful as it can easily be integrated with various tools associated with OpenStreetMap, such as JOSM (Java OpenStreetMap Editor). Additionally, users have the option to upload their data directly to OpenStreetMap, enabling them to contribute to the larger mapping community quickly and efficiently.
In terms of usability, the app offers flexibility in how users view their recorded tracks. They can choose to display these tracks over an OpenStreetMap background, which provides a rich context for navigation and mapping. For those who may not have access to data, the app also allows users to view their tracks without any background, ensuring that functionality is preserved even in offline situations.
The development of the application is open-source, and interested users or developers can find more information on the project's dedicated GitHub page. Here, users are encouraged to report issues they encounter or seek further information regarding the application's features and functions. This ensures that the application remains community-driven and continuously improved based on user feedback.
For those who are multilingual and wish to contribute, the application offers an opportunity to assist in translating OSMTracker through a dedicated platform. This collaborative effort helps make the application accessible to a broader audience, ensuring that language barriers do not hinder users from utilizing its features.
The application requires several permissions to function properly. Users must allow access to fine location for GPS tracking, as well as permissions to record audio for tagging purposes. Additionally, an internet connection is needed to display map backgrounds and upload GPX data to OpenStreetMap. The app can also use WiFi to determine the user's coarse location and requires the ability to write to the SD card for exporting GPX files.
GPS traces can then be exported in GPX format for later use with OpenStreetMap tools like JOSM, or uploaded directly to OpenStreetMap.
Tracks can be displayed over an OpenStreetMap background or with no background if you don't have a data plan.
