## Description

**TrackMe** is a customizable GPS recorder and outdoor navigation app for hiking, travel, and trip journaling. Record routes using GPS, Wi-Fi, or network location, with support for background, timed, and motion-based recording. Review distance, duration, speed, altitude, accuracy, weather, and other trip statistics directly on your Android device.

Use online or offline maps from multiple providers, download map tiles, follow GPX routes, and receive off-route alerts. Add route markers with notes, photos, voice recordings, and files, then import or export GPX and KML data. TrackMe also supports local data storage, optional server synchronization, live location sharing, backups, and web-based trip viewing while keeping your route data private unless you choose to share it.

## Review summary

Users appreciate TrackMe for its long-term reliability, rich features, integration capabilities, and excellent developer support. However, some common issues include SMS command failures, motion sensor dependency causing inaccurate tracking in vehicles, insufficient offline map caching for large areas, and a somewhat confusing user interface. Despite these cons, the app remains a popular and well-supported choice for outdoor and travel tracking.

### Pros

- Long-term reliability and consistent updates over many years
- Excellent and responsive developer support and customer service
- Feature-rich with many options for tracking hikes, travel, and other routes
- Ability to integrate with external servers (trackserver) and import/export GPS data
- Low battery usage and competent offline capabilities

### Cons

- Issues with SMS commands not functioning (e.g., !start)
- Dependence on phone motion sensors causing track logging errors, especially in vehicles
- Limited offline map caching area, insufficient for larger regions like counties or states
- User interface can be confusing and requires some learning curve
- Problems exporting or downloading GPS files not clearly resolved
