Trackbook
Movement Recorder for Android
Trackbook cannot work without these permissions:
LOCATION
Trackbook needs accurate GPS location data to be able to record your movements. If the GPS data is not available or not accurate enough Trackbook uses location data from cell tower and WiFi triangulation.
STORAGE
Trackbook uses osmdroid, which caches map tiles on Android\'s external storage. You can find the map cache in the osmdroid folder on the top level of the user-facing file system.
Got it!
About Trackbook
Movement Recorder for Android
Version 0.1 ("The Great Gig in the Sky")
Trackbook is a bare bones app for recording your movements. Trackbook is great for hiking, vacation or workout. Once started it traces your movements on a map. The map data is provided by OpenStreetMap (OSM).
Trackbook is free software. You can find the code on GitHub. GitHub is also a good place to file bugs or even to contribute, if you are interested. Trackbook is published under the MIT open source license. Trackbook uses osmdroid to display the map, which is also free software published under the Apache License.

Which Permissions does Trackbook need?
Permission INTERNET
Trackbook needs to download map data from Open Street Map servers and therefore needs access to the internet.
Permission ACCESS_WIFI_STATE and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
Trackbook uses to draw its main map. osmdroid needs to know the current state of your device’s connectivity. I am not sure why though. On the other hand: These permissions are not harmful in any way.
Permission ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
Trackbook needs accurate GPS location data to be able to record your movements. If the GPS data is not available or not accurate enough Trackbook uses location data from cell tower and WiFi triangulation.
Permission WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
Trackbook uses osmdroid, which caches map tiles on Android\'s external storage. You can find the map cache in the osmdroid folder on the top level of the user-facing file system.
