Need an Android .gpx app for darktable geotagging

Does anyone know of a good Android .gpx app? Need to be able to track a day of shooting and then import my .gpx file into darktable. I see GPSLogger is no longer in the Google Play store.

Don’t know about a standalone app that can do this, but OsmAnd can. You might already be using a map/navigation app, but this is a good opensource alternative for google maps (if that is what it is called): https://osmand.net/

GPX logging is one of the many (build in) plugins.

The important part is: Get Osmand from F-Droid not the from the Google Play Store! This way you get the proper version!

I use osmand. Its a bit heavy when all you need is to log a track but it does the job.

Also osmand, its good!

Drove where there was no cellphone reception last Sunday, and the offline maps were a champion!

I use Geo Tracker. Never failed me this far. If the raw files have the ability to store GPS data I use
$ exiftool -geotag "*gpx" *CR2

I use GeoLog, it’s quite old and simple, but just do the work without impact in the resources, also is open software.

If I forget to open it, my backup is https://www.google.com/maps/timeline, you can select a day and then download it as a KML file and the convert it to GPX, It’s a little scary, isn’t it?, and also not a good advice.

Can darktable add the GPS data to the RAW’s EXIF?

Yes.

I use GPS Logger: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?hl=de&id=eu.basicairdata.graziano.gpslogger for this.

There is a bunch of opensource GPS tracking applications on f-droid:

And now some advertising for all darktable and geotagging friends:
I wrote some Lua scripts for darktable to improve the handling of geotagged images. You can find them as usual here:

And I wrote two blog entries how to use them:

That’s all a little bit dated so feel free to ask questions if you have some.

There is even an open ticket from @wpferguson to improve the scripts, perhaps someone is interestet to help him:
