<div>For trail surveys and other GPS recording on Android
I've been very happy with Google's "My Tracks" app:<br>
<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.maps.mytracks&hl=en" target="_blank">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.maps.mytracks&hl=en</a><br>
<br>
</div>
It's pretty easy to use just hit "record", then allows the
addition of markers & photos while recording -- though
I have only used markers myself. <br>
After one is done recording, the track can be exported as
a GPX file and then sent to a computer via
USB/Bluetooth/Dropbox or any other transfer method enabled
on your phone.<br>
<br>
</div>
I've also tried doing surveys with OsmAnd, but found that
the recording was much less stable and would often get
interrupted and need to be restarted -- quite frustrating.<br>

</span>Keep in mind that keypadmapper is spyware :-)
In all seriousness, it<br>
uploads locations and cell ids to a public database
whenever it's<br>
running. If you're out explicitly doing mapping, that
might be fine at<br>
times, but it's bad behavior in general and I must
therefore recommend<br>
against recommending it.<br>
