OSMTracker is an application that allows you to record your routes and mark significant points of interest. Points can be tagged using a button, voice recordings, text notes, or photographs. The interface is customizable to adapt to OpenStreetMap activities. Tracks are exported in GPX format, making them easy to use with tools like JOSM. Although it is currently under development and requires further testing, users can contribute improvements and translations. OSMTracker is available on Google Play, F-droid, and for direct download from its website.
OSMTracker solves the problem of efficiently documenting and recording routes for collaborative mapping projects. It allows users to mark significant points along their journeys with tags, voice notes, text, or photos, facilitating the collection of accurate data to improve maps in OpenStreetMap.
