[OSM-talk] Making GPS tracks in Android

[Simon Poole]

I don't expect side loading to be a thing for very much longer. Given 
googles crack down on anything using location, see 
https://twitter.com/vespucci_editor/status/1331541328883298306 for some 
of the drama, it would seem to be silly to leave that avenue open. 
Definitely you are going to run in to problems as soon as you start 
building against more recent SDK.
