Searching for a real-time GPS tracker app with the ability to follow a lot of users - General Questions and Answers

Hello everyone!
I hope someone can help me with this problem:
Soon I'm going to organize a big hitchhiking event. Around 20 teams will be racing against each other to race across The Netherlands.
Every team is going to document the trip with camera's. Since I will also do the editing of the video's afterwards, I would like to show a map with the positions of the teams at several times during that day.
To achieve this, I'm searching for an app that:
- Gives real-time GPS position (uploads the GPS position every <5 minutes)
- Gives me the possibility to see each gps location on one map on PC/Mac, for example in browser (preferable with history, so I can look back later. For example: select 2:00PM and see where each team was at that time)
- Doesn't let the teams see the locations of the other teams
Does someone know if there is an app like that? Preferable an app solution that's available for both Android and iOS.
I really hope someone can help me with this question

GPS Tracking Software Recommendations?

hi,
Can anyone recommend a sw that can log your current GPS position every xx seconds (configurable) to a file that can then be used with google earth or something similar on a PC to show your track? always having a gps with you opens up many possibilities
Have a look at Fransons GPS Gate, you get a free trial period to check it out and make sure it does what you want, to display the files it produces use GPSBabel to convert the data to the correct format to use with Google Earth - its not too difficult to get used to - Mike

[APP] Activity Assistant - counting laps

This is my first post here, so let me say Hello to all of you.
I have developed an application for monitoring sport activities with a unique feature - detecting and counting laps in real time.
It's in the Market, you can find it when you search for "lap detection" and choose Activity Assistant.
Program uses two different methods for detecting laps.
HORIZONAL LAP occurs when you return to a place already visited in this session or come near this place. On the settings screen you can choose the accuracy of the lap detection. During long winter I frequently do ice skating and I was always wondering how many laps I did on a session.
VERTICAL LAPS are the number of ascents and descents done so far. Great tool for skiers who want to know how many pistes they did a day (like myself).
In addition to LAPS COUNTER there is a classical computer which shows speed, distance and other geo info.
The track can be recorded in a gpx file and/or displayed on the map. Track files are stored on the SD card.
I know, that it needs some improvement in both functionality and the interface quality (it's v. 1.0). I'm just courious if it could be of any use to anyone. If yes, please send me your comments/requests/etc .

[APP]NeverForget Reminder - A New Revolutionary Location Reminder

Hey guys,
We are a small team of android developers that had a cool idea of a reminder app which we have released to the market some time ago.
The app called 'NeverForget Reminder' and the idea is simple: A solution to forgetting stuff when you leave your home(or your current location). There are tons of situations when this app may be useful. A classic example is when you leave your home at the morning to your job, you surely need to take with you some stuff such as your bag, wallet, keys, etc.. NeverForget's Reminder purpose is to make sure you won't forget any of it again. Another example is when you visit your friends house and you brought with you some stuff, when leaving it, the last thing you want is to forget that stuff at your friends home. NeverForget will remind you to take it when you leave that place.
One of our main goals was to make the app as simple as possible, so there is one main button. Click it to start the reminder. And when you will leave your current place, the app will start a loud alarm. There are additional options available such as setting the alarm name or taking a photo of the stuff you need to take.
After thinking of this idea, we have searched a lot and could not find any solutions to that common problem. After deeper search we understood why is that. There is NO way to determine device's location inside a building, for these days. GPS does not working inside closed places, and that was our biggest issue that we successfully overcame with NeverForget.
Basically what we do is rely on WiFi networks around you. Then we make calculations to determine when you getting away from that network and when you do, a load alarm starts with a reminder. If no WiFi networks around you, GPS service is required.
The app is FREE to use and available at Google Play.
We would appreciate your feedback and hope you will try out our app - NeverForget Reminder.
For any questions you can send us an email to: [email protected]

Thanks.

Yago – Discover Friends and Places Around Me

Description
Yago is a fun and simple way to share the moments around you. Snap a photo or video, caption with text or add an emoji, choose your location and post it to the map! Everything posted to the map disappears after 24 hours!
You control where you show up on the map. We’ll never share your exact location. Only the location YOU choose – the place, the neighborhood, or the city you are in. Your post will live in one of those locations for 24 hours and then ‘poof’ disappears from the map and from our servers!
You control what’s public or private. Public posts can be seen on the map by the entire community. Private posts will only be seen by your mutuals – people that you follow and who follow you back
Have you ever been bored and wanted to see what your friends are doing or what’s going on around you? We’ll help you discover your friends and new places! Use our interactive map and browse around by either people or places and see what’s going on around you. Discover new restaurants, bars, or even a new nightclub. Stay connected with friends and our awesome community.
Create quality content and be engaged in your local community and help decide what’s best with anonymous voting. Upvote what you like, downvote what you don’t. Your votes help decide which pictures or videos get featured.
Start a conversation in the app by leaving a comment or mention a friend. All comments and mentions will disappear when the post expires after 24 hours.
What Yago users are saying:
“Love this app, it’s like snapchat without the bull. So much fun and it’s easy to use. Great work Yago!”
“24 hours and your photo goes away!”
“It’s like snapchat and Instagram all in one <3 I really love it”
“Combines the best of both worlds: snap and Insta. Very easy to navigate and understand definitely love this app! Thank you!!”
Please note: even though pictures and videos are deleted from the map and our servers after they expire, we cannot prevent users from capturing and saving by taking a screenshot or using an image capture device.

Shamworld. Your reality.

Hello !
To change the world around you, to make it a better place—everybody dreams about that.

How to work with this app
If you feel that this lovely courtyard nearby really lacks the magic of tenants and some sculptures that you chanced to be passing will really look good with a little twist, then now you can do it right on the spot via your smartphone with the installed Shamworld app. A little left to do—to open the app and wait until your location has been found on the map using Google Maps data. A cute green ant will mark your location. All you need to do is to choose an object you would like to see here and to superimpose it into the camera image. When saving your version of the reality for a particular place, you may also share it with all or some of your friends. They will see your work in the Recommended section and will be able to check it out via the app. Various objects can be selected. There are plenty of ready images and even animated GIFs available in this app! You may choose your image in Gallery or add your own photos, emojis and texts.

Shamworld. Changing the reality
To make sure that the object has been tagged to a specific place, you need to choose an object that does not change its place, shape or color over time. That being said, it is unlikely that you can tag something to a backpack forgotten on a bench or to a cute cat sitting nearby. But it can be done easily with the bench itself. However, the tag might be lost if the bench gets changed or repainted one day but this happens not so often.
Shamworld and the world around you
When walking around the Shamworld map you must have already spotted yellow circles with numbers in it here and there. It indicates the number of objects placed by other app users. You may enjoy their arts and get some inspiration for new objects. There are several practical ways to use the Shamworld app. For example, when you go out of some cafe, you may leave your feedback right on its wall—without getting charged with vandalism. The cafe owner himself may place a creative ad in the app to make sure that no one misses it... 4-inch screen or above, RAM—at least 512 kB, camera—3MP or above, and Android 4.2 or above are required for app users. The better phone you have, the better it will all work for you. You may install the app by clicking Google Play :
