【實用工具app】Track & Event GPS|最夯免費app-綠色工廠好玩App

Track & Event is an Android Gps track and event recording application. Specifically designed for metal detecting, but could also be very useful tool for field walkers, Geo-cachers, hikers, farmers, conservationists or anyone that would like to record their tracks and 'event' locations.

This application allows the user to track and record their movements within a predefined area. Tracks can be saved and resumed. Additionally, you can also mark/ revisit event spots, photograph. and keep detailed records of the moment.

Every new track always starts with a red track. The next time you resume searching within the same area, it will lay orange tracks. On each subsequent stop/resume, it will cycle through ten colours.You may pause a search, and continue in the same colour, but once you have closed the search area completely, the next time you resume, it will be with the next colour. The colour order is :- Red / Orange / Yellow /Green / Light green / Blue / Light Blue / Lilac / Purple / Pink. This is useful for differentiating between previous visits to the same area,

KNOWN ISSUES. There seems to be a bug that is stopping find camera images being saved on some devices. We are working on a fix. This is a very small part of the app, and a feature I hardly ever use myself, so it should not diminish your enjoyment of using Track & Event. As soon as a solution is found, it will be fixed!

A word on the current state of GPS technology and accuracy.. (And to avoid unrealistic expectations and disappointment)

As great as it is, global positioning is not as inch/cm perfect as the metal detectorist would like, and may even differ in degrees of accuracy depending on the type of phone and gps receiver used. It will however, still provide you with a fairly accurate permanent record of your outings. As a user myself, I have found its biggest strength is in showing you the areas that you haven't been!

Generally, the more open the space, the better the signal and accuracy. Gps will be more accurate in the middle of a field, than the urban canyons of a built up area.

Why does Track & Event GPS require permission to read 'phone state and identity'?

The Android GPS API which is used in the construction of the app, has a feature to periodically make announcements. To prevent this happening whilst you’re making a phone call, the GPS API needs permission to check the phones current state. Note that reading phone state and identity is neither stored nor sent anywhere by the app.
