OsmAnd with the Trip Recording plugin
The Android app I use for recording trip data when driving is the excellent OsmAnd with its Trip Recording plugin.
The Trip Recording plugin allows you to record your trip and save it
as a GPX file. It uses your phone’s GPS to track your movement. You
can view the route you’ve travelled, send it to OpenStreetMap project
or upload it to external services.
That would be an all-in-one solution since you could use just one app for your (offline) map viewing, navigation, POIs and trip recording, all based on OpenStreetMap and Wikipedia data. It is not specific for driving, it can be used for activities such as running, walking, cycling, etc..
Some of the data recorded:
- Distance
- Start time
- End time
- Time span
- Time moving
- Average altitude
- Descent/Ascent
- Average speed
- Maximum speed
The app is open source, actively developed and it’s available in two versions: OsmAnd (free) and OsmAnd+ (paid). With the paid version you support the project, fund the development of new features, and receive the latest updates (you can get an unlimited number of map updates). The Trip Recording plugin works fine with both the free and paid versions.
Here are three basic screenshots from the website:
