## What it is
GPSLogger is a lightweight, battery-efficient Android application that logs GPS coordinates to formats like GPX, KML, CSV, and NMEA. It supports automatic uploading of logs to destinations such as SFTP, Dropbox, Google Drive, OpenStreetMap, FTP, and custom URLs.

## Use cases
- log my GPS track while hiking and export to GPX
- record coordinates periodically without draining battery
- geotag photos from a day trip using logged points
- automatically upload GPS logs to Dropbox or Google Drive
- share my travel route with someone
- log GPS points to a custom URL endpoint
- track a bike ride with distance and speed data

## When to choose
- you need long-running, battery-efficient GPS logging on Android
- you want logs in standard formats like GPX, KML, CSV, or NMEA
- you need automatic upload to cloud storage, SFTP, or a custom URL
- you want an open-source, privacy-respecting tracker with verifiable APK signatures

## When to avoid
- you need real-time live location sharing with other users
- you need turn-by-turn navigation or mapping features
- you are not on Android
- you need background tracking on iOS
