Geograph

iOS iPhone

Want to record Aperture, iPhoto, Google Earth, etc. compatible GPS tracks? Geograph is the answer.

This is a solid application built for creating GPX format files. Check to see if the application that you need it for supports GPX files, and then you are all ready to go. Most common nautical, aviation, and handheld GPS units use GPX as the storage format, and most photo geotagging applications expect GPX files.

A few applications do already exist for this purpose, but try them all and compare them for yourself.

Geograph uses a complex micro-optimized library with advanced caching and memory management to generate the GPX files instantaneously (or at least at an imperceivable speed.) It can also reopen and display them just as quickly.

Geograph will also not record duplicate coordinates, as this is a waste of space. (e.g. if you are sitting in the exact same place, and the GPS keeps reading the exact same coordinates for a duration, it will not add duplicate coordinates every second, it will only wait until you change locations.) This is completely lossless, but time and space are saved over other less intelligent recording solutions.
