Tect O Trak is an Android Gps track and finds recording application. Specifically designed for metal detecting, but could also be very useful tool for field walkers, Geo-cachers, hikers, farmers, or anyone that would like to record their tracks and 'event' locations.

This application allows the user to track and record their movements within a predefined area. Searches can be saved and resumed. Additionally, you can also mark/ revisit find spots, photograph. and make detailed records of finds

*** NEW *** Multicolour tracks.
Every new search always starts with a red track. The next time you resume searching within the same area, it will lay orange tracks. On each subsequent stop/resume, it will cycle through ten colours.You may pause a search, and continue in the same colour, but once you have closed the search area completely, the next time you resume, it will be with the next colour. The colour order is :- Red / Orange / Yellow /Green / Light green / Blue / Light Blue / Lilac / Purple / Pink. This is useful for differentiating between previous visits to the same search area, and also an aid to creating thorough and interesting search patterns.

Also.. Should you ever lose anything like your pointer or keys while on a hunt, you can always retrace your tracks back, and have a much better chance of finding them.

A word on the current state of GPS technology and accuracy.. (And to avoid unrealistic expectations and disappointment)

As great as it is, global positioning is not as inch/cm perfect as the metal detectorist would like, and may even differ in degrees of accuracy depending on the type of phone and gps receiver used. It will however, still provide you with a fairly accurate permanent record of your outings. As a user myself, I have found its biggest strength is that it clearly shows you the areas that you haven't been!

Generally, the more open the space, the better the signal and accuracy. Gps will be more accurate in the middle of a field, than the urban canyons of a built up area, or under the cover of trees.

Why does Tect O Trak require permission to read 'phone state and identity'?
The Android GPS API which is used in the construction of the app, has a feature to periodically make announcements. To prevent this happening whilst you’re making a phone call, the GPS API needs permission to check the phones current state. Note that reading phone state and identity is neither stored nor sent anywhere by the app.
