➤ LD-Log tracks your travel routes using the device's GPS receiver. Waypoints are taken either manually or automatically with a user-definable interval set in minutes. As such, the app is designed to consume very little battery power. LD-Log also offers a tracking mode, allowing you to record your movements by the second.
➤ An editable waypoint-list for each route of your trip lets you create a detailed diary of your complete journey. LD-Log will allow you to enter text or shoot photos in-app as well as import them at a later time. As a sailor, use the sail mode which lets you keep a complete nautical ship's log in an intuitive manner. Many different options are available for convenient storage of trips, routes and journals.
➤ The map view features a selection of different online map sources. Previously viewed map tiles will remain available while offline. You may also include custom offline maps. Create destination points and navigate with the help of the integrated bearing compass and the numerous map tools, whether in the open country or at sea.
➤ LD-Log can be used to document a wide range of travel situations including: hikes, bicycle tours, offshore sailing cruises, city walks, voyages, road trips, ship and boat tours, photo geotagging, collecting geo locations (POI), cartography (e.g. in forestry), etc. - for professional or recreational use.
This is the full version of LD-Log.

Even better after the last update.
I've used this app for years now and love it. It does everything I want it to do, is accurate, and easy to use.
Best app for long distance sailing
Provides an accurate and flexible electronic log of SOG, course (OG), speed and position with all necessary derived data. The interface is slightly dated but is simple to understand and operate. LD-Log is an essential part of our motorsailing off the West Coast of Scotland.
An absolute must have if you do long distance sailing. Give you so much more information about your speed and direction than any other instrument on the boat
App is simple and effective. Had some issues with getting it to work (Samsung A12) but after some fiddling with power settings I got the battery optimizer to stay away from it. Other than that it does exactly what it promises. I use the offline GPS logging, map view, and multipe routes per trip for motorcycle tour logging and it works great.
Best ever app for keeping track of your route. Easy and clear interface nothing fancy but it does what it has to do.
