Hi everyone,
A question that's a little off topic here - hope anyone doesn't mind - but
I thought I may give it a try in case someone could point me to the right
direction.
So we're looking for an Android app (to run discreetly preferably) that we
can use to track the movements of the devices in the field. Since they're
being used in relatively remote areas, we gather it shouldn't rely so much
on the network provider's network signal and instead, the GPS satellite
signal.
Also, we'd prefer if the GPS data could be downloadable if possible.
Any assistance would greatly be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Ramadhan Swalleh
Hi Ramadhan,
I'm not going to answer your question directly although I'm guessing there
will be quite a few device management tools that will do what you want.
However fieldTask, which is a wrapper around odkCollect that adds task
management features, does allow you to record the path taken by users while
they are completing surveys. Its not particularly discrete as it shows the
GPS trail on the phone. In fact I'd like to make it as obvious that it is
recording the path as possible. However it may be of interest and its back
on topic 
I have not built a GPX export option into the server yet but
that would not be too difficult.
More details are available here http://blog.smap.com.au/version-14-11-01/
regards
Neil
