Instant resize 1 2 1 – resize images free. MyTracks was a GPS tracking application that runs on Android. The application uses a device's GPS to collect data, allowing real-time review of path, speed, distance, and elevation. Later, this data can be saved to Google Maps, Google Fusion Tables, or Google Docs and shared with Google+, Facebook, or Twitter. The application also allows a user to record annotations along the path, hear periodic voice announcements of progress, and sync with select third-party bio-metric sensors.
Google has announced that as of the 1st May 2016, MyTracks will be deprecated and no longer available in the Google Play Store.[2][4] The app itself continues to work and is still available to sideload via APK repositories.
An in-app popup alerted users that MyTracks would stop working on April 30, 2016;[5] Google has confirmed[6] they will be investing in 'other, more wide-reaching, mapping projects'.
Features[edit]
GPS tracks can be exported as GPX, KML or KMZ files. You can use the exported files, e.g. With Google Earth. Besides the dedicated GPS loggers a free iPhone App called 'myTracks – The GPS logger' is available on the App Store. You can use this App to record GPS tracks. Supported Operation Systems: macOS 10.10 or later 64-bit.

History[edit]
The application made its debut on February 12, 2009 under a closed license.[1] A year later on March 28, 2010, Google announced the release of the source code and open-sourcing of the application, stating 'The collective intelligence of the development community will create a more powerful, more intuitive, more useful, and more robust My Tracks.'[7] The first major re-haul of the application came on July 13, 2012 when Google released version 2.0 of the application. Version 2.0 introduced a new interface, support for playing back data in Google Earth for Android (although this feature is broken since Google Earth v8[8]), improved charts, and additional statistics.[9] In 2014 the developers announced on the google code project site that My Tracks is no longer developed in the open and that the source will be removed on 01/01/2015.[10] The last open source version was 2.0.5 released in August 2013.[11]
Reception[edit]
As of September 2013, the Google Play Store listed the application as being installed on 10,000,000 – 50,000,000 devices, with an overall rating of 4.4/5 from over 80,000 reviews.[2]CNET gave the application 4/5 stars, praising its 'Chart, Statistics, and satellite playback' and ability to pause recordings but criticized it for an 'unattractive interface' and lack of 'athletic-specific features'.[12] Mac dvd ripper pro 7 1. PCWorld awarded MyTracks with a perfect 5/5 stars, stating 'this app is just about perfect. It is intuitive to use and very stable.' However, PCWorld did mention they would like to see a few features added.[13]
