Geotag video camera vs Trails Hito
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Geotag video camera
An app which displays an overlay of a map along with the coordinates on screen which can be used via screen recordings (uses mapbox or geoaplify apis). Have tried manual video recording options but the overlay wouldn't get saved to the final recording properly or needs frame by frame processing to insert the overlay which would be resource intensive. Double tapping the screen opens up the settings menu where the geoapify and mapbox api keys can be inserted. You will have to create an account and just add the api key from the website. (Have tried various leaflet options but none of them worked as intended..) FEATURES * No ads (Almost all of the play store ones have ads in them) * FOSS * Clean, fast and lightweight HOW TO USE * Just record your screen or take a screenshot to get the photo or video with the overlay.
Trails Hito
Trails Hito can load trails in GPX, TCX and KML formats. You can load them directly from your phone storage or share them from another application. This app also displays the user location, either by single location updates or by enabling the continuous location feature. No data is stored or sent outside your phone. This apps does not contain any trails, it is only a viewer for existing trail files. Low battery consumption.
