Description:
GPS Cycle Computer is a FREE lightweight but powerful application for cycling, mountain biking, skiing, running, hiking or walking.
It displays several statistics:
- Time (inclusive or exclusive stoppage), wall time.
- Speed (current, average, max).
- Distance (in different units).
- Altitude (current, gain, loss, differece, slope).
- Heading (direction of movement).
- Device, GPS and satellite info.
The tool logs GPS data into a binary file (so a lot of data can be stored in a compact form), which can be loaded back for viewing, or saved into .kml / .gpx file to view in e.g. GoogleEarth.
With the latest version of GoogleMaps, you can view KML files on your phone. Just click on a kml file in file explorer.
Yet Another GPS Tracker?
Yes, but:
- This is a nice one - thanks to excellent design by expo7! And you can set your custom background and button images.
- Can select GPS run interval: from "always on" to "run every 10 min" - this is useful if you want to reduce battery power usage.
- Has usual cycle computer display: time, distance, speed (current, average, max) plus a graph of your track.
The tool now supports AppToDate (more info is in the manual), so you would need to download and install CAB yourself only once, then you will be getting the latest version automatically.
