Tracker Booster (v. 1.8) Разработано Harri Kaukovuo |
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.

[2013-08-07] A Google User: CONGRATS!!! This is an AWESOME and EXCELLENT App!!! Good for his Creator!!! |
|
[2013-07-23] A Google User: Samsung Galaxy S3 mini Just what I needed to keep my GPS 'alive' (from getting to suspend mode) while using Sport tracker. Thank you. Edit: I am really disappointed... my device still after a while let the GPS to shut down. Probably it is my device's problem still don't know ?!? |
|
[2013-06-18] A Google User: Improved tracking. Using with Endomondo, I instantly got more accurate routes. Thumbs up! |
|
[2013-06-11] A Google User: Needs some UI improvements The app works great however the UI could use a little work. On my Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX HD the buttons are small and all in the upper left corner of the screen. This causes a problem when starting the app as I sometimes accidently hit stop at the same time I hit send to background effectively shutting the app off and minimizing. It would be helpful if the buttons were a little bigger, spaced out more, and possible centered. A suggestion for an improvement would e to turn the status ICON green when it is running and locked on to GPS signal, leave it blue when when it is idle and not started, and make it red when it is running but not locked on to GPS signal. |

[2013-02-09] A Google User: Track boost It works perfect and helps track more accurate! Nice app! |
|
[2013-02-07] A Google User: Boosting Trying if the result is excellent |
|
[2013-01-15] A Google User: A must have. Of course, anything that uses the GPS is going to consume battery faster, but even when the tracker is "stopped", it still seems to work to an extent without draining the battery, which is nice. Signal strength will normally affect how fast it takes to determine your exact location, but not always, another good thing. I highly recommend this to anyone, especially if they live in a more rural area like myself. |

[2013-01-11] A Google User: Awesome App Fixed my GPS Fix error . my gps is useless before but just tried this app and started and send it to background after 10-15 mins my phone got GPS fix. |
|
[2013-01-10] A Google User: Only thing that keeps my GPS track line smooth. |
|
[2012-10-18] A Google User: Track booster Very good |
|
[2012-10-05] A Google User: Working as intended? Great Idea. Good for when using browser html5 location aware apps. Works for a while but still shuts off after about 20 mins and needs turning back on. Is this supposed to happen? An alternative anyone? |
|
[2012-09-17] A Google User: does work to some extent It does work on ICS. However the difference made is small only. |
|
[2012-09-17] A Google User: On LG mytouch Good |
|
[2012-09-16] A Google User: 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! |
|
[2012-09-15] A Google User: 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. |
|
[2012-08-05] A Google User: Understand what this does It's simple: GPS talks to satellites to get your location. It sometimes takes a while to sync up when you first turn it on, and it uses a lot of power while it's on. Google noticed that lots of people forgot to turn their GPS off and drained their batteries, so they decided to just turn the GPS off automatically if you weren't using it for even a second. This means you have to get that first-time lock again and again. This app just tells the GPS to stay on all the time. It doesn't boost anything else. |
|
[2012-08-01] A Google User: Doesn't work. Nothing change in accuracy. Moreover it's sucking my battery down during use. |
|
[2012-07-19] A Google User: Stops working Would give it 5 stars if it would quit shutting down all the time. 1.7 stayed running. |
|
[2012-07-05] A Google User: Good so far Seems like a good temporary fix for the eve lte gps issue that I am having |
|
[2012-07-04] A Google User: Great app Had afew kinks and bugs but this fixed it all. Truly the best. Thanks. |
|
[2012-07-04] A Google User: Works as described... ...but constantly shuts itself down in the background. This defeats the actual purpose of the app, hope it gets fixed as this is a really great app. |
|
[2012-06-27] A Google User: Excellent! Definitely helps create smoother maps and even helps acquire a solid satelight lock faster! Thank you for such a handy tool. |
|
[2012-06-25] A Google User: Best of the best No more deep sleep issues. Now gps always up. Using it for last 1 month and half. |
|
[2012-06-02] A Google User: Dont know the meaning |
|
[2012-05-24] A Google User: Thanks from HTC Desire S owner and Locus Pro user. |
|
[2012-05-08] A Google User: 9ice app |
|
[2012-05-07] A Google User: Cloudy skies App has trouble keeping lock or locking at all when overcast, maybe update will help. Otherwise really does boost gps |
|
[2012-05-03] A Google User: Totally works! Only got GPS fixes every 15 seconds or so with the phone asleep without this app; now get fixes every second. Awesome! |
|
[2012-05-03] A Google User: Excellent and very simple App Must have app for Endomondo users to get GPS fix quickly and also to have their routes tracked correctly. |
|
[2012-04-29] A Google User: GPS stays on! Thanks for simple, reliable app. Been using almost every day for over a year. ... and this update. |
|
[2012-03-17] A Google User: sucks no diff on endomondo. forever searchin for satellites! |
|
[2012-02-01] A Google User: Stop working Android 2.3.7 GingerDX v21 It stops working the second time or thirty time the screen goes off. |
|
[2012-01-23] A Google User: Works as advertised GPS tracking on nexus one in Run Keeper app really sucked. This app constantly polls the GPS chipset and greatly increases the accuracy of the tracking. The data points on my runs now match a friend's iPhone Run Keeper results. |
|
[2012-01-19] A Google User: Locks gps on How can it be worse?! Seriously? So, yeah, it locks the gps on, no matter what. Pretty useful if you need that feature. |

[2011-06-19] A Google User: Exactly what I was looking for. If screen fades out while using google maps, your gps lock will be lost. This app prevents losing lock! |

[2010-12-23] A Google User: Improved Endomondo's accuracy immensely! Obviously a heavy-hitter in the battery department, but you can't have GPS this accurate without it! |
