Description
Tracker Booster is a small utility to help sports tracker applications (e.g. Endomondo) or Google Maps to get best possible GPS signal by keeping the GPS unit active in the background. Some phones have problems using e.g. Endomondo while not getting accurate GPS location info. Without and with Tracker Booster result images attached. Google Maps looses the GPS signal when phone falls into power saving mode. This application keeps the GPS busy so that Google Maps is always in correct location when you need it.
Recent changes: Ver 1.8: Bugfix on application stopping by itself in certain conditions.
Ver 1.7: Changed the application to support devices with small screens, for example Sony Xperia Mini Pro. Updates on Russian translation.

Shutting down This app works perfect apart from shutting itself down after a while. I am using it in the background with Endomondo and without the extra precision of Tracker booster Endomondo does not pause when I stop temporary because it thinks I am stil moving around a bit. Please, developer, can you fix this or maybe give an explanation for this shutting down?

Works fine for me on android 2.3.4. I've never understood why google maps switches off gps when it goes to background.... Typical google design fail!
★★★★★
Particularly useful when using google maps. You can leave the map application and come back and the gps is instantly located. Great app.
★★☆☆☆
Used with Endomondo but benefits were inconclusive Made ZERO difference to GPS polling rate, and therefore accuracy, to Moves app.
★★☆☆☆
Works, but one caveat The app works great while it's running but version 1.8 still keeps turning itself off so that makes it pretty worthless when working out. Harri, please fix this! :-) I'm using Android ICS OS. One star for now and I will revise if it gets updated to fix the bug.
