I’m looking for recommendations for an Android app to track and report GPS-type data (if such an app exists). Specifically, I’m hoping to be able to extract stops, origin/destination, roads/route traveled, and speed information.

Two use cases:

  1. Friend does an ad-hoc delivery service where requests are phoned in when they’re needed rather than scheduled ahead of time. The ability to see where they started, where they went, and what roads/distance they traveled as they scurry about all day without having to enter it all manually into a map program later on would be invaluable to calculating expenses.
  2. Same friend was pulled over, while I was also in the vehicle, for speeding but was definitely not exceeding the speed limit. I would’ve loved to be able to pull up some GPS data that said what speed we were going at the time on the road in question.

    OSMAnd on fdroid can record all sorts of trip data and can spit it out as gpx files, which are just XML and probably pretty parsable in something like Python. That might get you at least some of what you want.
