Features

Gadgetbridge integration

OpenTracks can be used with Gadgetbridge:

Privacy

Only required permissions:

Public API

OpenTracks includes an API for starting/stopping recording by another installed application (e.g., Automate, Tasker, or Easer). The API can be invoked by sending an explicit Intent to start an activity.

Package (depends on the variant installed):

Classes:

For testing via adb: adb shell am start -e someParameter someValue -n "package/class"

The Public API is disabled by default to protect the user's privacy, but it can easily be enabled in the settings.

Dashboard API (incl. map)

As of v3.3.1, OpenTracks supports custom dashboards for displaying previously recorded and live tracks.

The reference implementation is OSMDashboard, which presents an OpenStreetMap map (showing the current track, incl. updates). The Dashboard API is also used by Gadgetbridge for displaying live track statistics on supported wearables.

Alternatively, recorded tracks can be shared as KMZ/GPX with installed applications ( e.g., OsmAnd). However, this is rather slow and does not provide updates while recording.

The developer documentation is in README_API.md.

Project history

OpenTracks is based upon Google My Tracks app (code). My Tracks was initially released by Google in 2010 as open-source software. In 2016, Google decided to discontinue My Tracks and stopped distributing it via the Google Play store in April 2016. Then Plonk42 conducted some maintenance work until 2016, so My Tracks could still be used (based upon version Google's MyTracks version 2.0.6). Plonk42's version is available here. In 2019, OpenTracks was forked from Plonk42's My Tracks and major rework was conducted.

Rework of OpenTracks included:

Artwork, logos and user interface remained more or less unchanged.
