Comments on GPS Essentials for Android

★★★★★ Stef V · Nov 8, 2024
Oldest and best for tracking multi day hikes, uses the least power, great map options and rendering
★★★★☆ Jan Egil Kristiansen · Oct 31, 2023
When I share a point (e.g. geo:62,-7) with GPS essentials, that point is displayed on a map. But below that map, I still see my own position, my own sunrise time etc. I suppose it would be more interesting to see data for the shared point.
★★★★★ lemmor cruz · Nov 11, 2024
Nice app I used this when putting a waypoint of our agri land boundary its work, I love this app.
★★★★☆ Kris Buelens · May 5, 2024
The exported GPX tracks are not OK any more (V4.5.20). But the fix is easy Simply change <rte pt into <trkpt and change </rte pt into </trkpt After that, all is well again. (as an old IBM mainframe specialist, I created a REX script to do these changes for me. If the script were in a more common language, I'd include it here) (without this bug, I'd give it 5*)
★★☆☆☆ John Bernal · Mar 24, 2024
Something broke in the last update, GPX exported files can no longer be readable on external GPX tools, seems to be related to XLM formatting. The exported track points (trkpt) are exported as route points (rte pt) breaking compatibility
★☆☆☆☆ Patrick Kozlowski · May 7, 2025
Doesn't seem to work on s24. Tracks won't track, satellites won't track unless on the satellite screen. Used it for years but new phone and latest updates make it worthless.
