First release of World Explorer through the managed pipeline. Download WorldExplorer-v0.2.0.apk below, open it on your phone and allow Install unknown apps when Android asks. It installs over earlier builds without losing your explored area.

Features

  • Fog-of-war map over OpenStreetMap that clears as you move, with "% of the world explored" shown to five decimal places.
  • Real-time trail while the app is open (1 s fixes). Battery-friendly 30 s tracking in the background, with a wake lock so trails don't break up on long drives.
  • Straight-line gaps between fixes are filled in. GPS jitter is smoothed out of the saved trail.
  • Opens on your last known position. Tracking resumes after a reboot.

Fixes

  • Fog edges merge into one smooth ribbon instead of "beads on a string".
  • "% explored" is measured against land area, not the whole planet.
  • Centred launcher icon.

Behind the scenes

  • New CI: lint, builds, and emulator tests of the real release APK on every change.
  • MIT licence.
