iPhone App Of The Week: GeoCorder
Back in the day, I would use my PalmOS device and a bluetooth GPS receiver to log GPS track information for geotagging photos. That was a difficult set up to get working reliably.
Today I use a dedicated GPS logging device which is a simple small box with a few lights to indicate if it has a satellite fix. The problem with this device is it sometimes doesn’t record and I don’t find out until I get home that I have no GPS data.
Geocoder can make use of the GPS capability of my phone to record GPS track information and it has a display so I will know if it’s really recording or not and write it out to a GPX file. GeoCoder is free at the iTunes App Store at the time of this writing.
Sometimes all you need is to record a GPS track. You might be a developer needing some real-world GPS data to test your geo-app. Or just someone who want to record his movements for Google Earth.
All this is as simple as possible with GeoCorder. Push the Plus, start the recording. A sensitivity graph gives you visual feedback how accurate your recorded GPS data is.
Finally you can e-mail your tracks to any address in your address book. The GPX data is fully complete and in addition to the coordinates it also includes timestamps, altitudes and even horizontal and vertical accuracy of measurements.
Get it, while it’s free as introductory offer.
