Android App for tagging locations on a map? (programming.dev)

submitted 5 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

16 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I'm searching an android app to mark the locations of multiple parked cars. It should be possible to mark different cars somehow to identify them. It would also be cool if there is a feature to share the location with someone on another devica (like a sync between users, NOT copy of coordinates or link on maps

In other words, I need an app to tag multiple locations on a map. It doesn't require to be designed for parked car locations. The app must have these features:

GPS Tracker with map
support to tag multiple locations
- mark them somehow uniquely (like note, category, color, icon, ...) The following features would be nice to have:
sync with other devices, for example family
history of locations
set date/time since location is active (can be timestamp)

I'm ok with paying/ ads or require to self host.

Not sure if it fits your particular use case, but have a look at OwnTracks.

On Owntracks I only see the option for sharing the coordinates. They don't get displayed on the map with an icon or something similar. I have to manually put the coordinates in google maps to see the location

You can set it up so it does. It requires an mqtt-server though. When I am out walking, my partner can get my location live, with a little icon and everything.

But as I said, it might not fit your use case. I figured I'd mention it in case you got a good idea or something. :)

But does this also work for saved locations and not only the location of the device? Since the device location won't be the car location most of the time, I need the saved location synced and displayed, not the device location.

You can update the location only when the device is there. Or you could use a script or program of some kind to change the location when necessary, but I don't know tools like that exist yet, so it might be too technical
