When you are walking or cycling or driving from location A to B, you can turn on the My Tracks app on your phone and it will record your path, speed, and distance as you move.
The track can viewed on Google Maps and can be annotated as well. The track is saved as a KML file in your Google Drive that you can view in Google Maps or Google Earth on your phone to visualize your activity. The tracks can als be exported to Google Spreadsheets or you can share them with friends using the standing sharing options available inside Android.
My Tracks using the GPS signal to record your path so it can drain your battery if you keep it running continuously for a long period.
If you have invited friends to your home and they find the way confusing, you can pre-record the directions with My Track and send them the KML file. They’ll find the going easy as they can simply replay route on Google Earth.
