📖About This App
Find your exact GPS position with latitude, longitude, accuracy, altitude, speed and heading, and see the matching street address. Start a live tracking session to watch your position, speed and altitude update in real time while the app is open, then view a snapshot summary of your speed, GPS accuracy and altitude when you stop. Save places you want to return to, copy coordinates to the clipboard, share your location as text, and look back through your location history. Location is only read while you have the app open in the foreground — My Location Tracker does not track your movements in the background. GPS works without an internet connection; looking up a street address or showing the map needs a data connection. A one-time or subscription Pro upgrade unlocks unlimited session insights (free users get a limited number of passes). Perfect for navigation, meeting up, logging a walk or hike, or remembering a place.
🧭How It Works

Favorite Places
Save locations you return to often so you can open them again quickly.
Location Sharing
Share your current coordinates and address as text through your phone's share sheet.
History Log

Copy Coordinates
Copy GPS coordinates to the clipboard for quick use elsewhere.
⚠️Limitations
- Tracking is foreground-only: location updates stop as soon as you leave the tracking screen or close the app, so there is no background or always-on tracking.
- A tracking session's summary is a snapshot taken when you stop it, not a continuously logged route — it does not record distance traveled, and the speed and accuracy figures shown are the values at that moment rather than session-long averages.
- GPS accuracy depends on sky visibility and signal conditions and typically worsens indoors, near tall buildings, or in bad weather.

❓Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the GPS location?
Accuracy depends on your device, sky visibility and signal conditions, and is typically shown alongside your coordinates (for example, accurate to a number of meters). Outdoor, open-sky conditions give the best results; GPS accuracy degrades indoors, near tall buildings, or in bad weather, and may take a few seconds to lock on after opening the app.
How do I save a favorite place?
With your current location showing, use the save option to add it to your saved places. You can reopen any saved place from the app without re-finding it on the map.
How do I share my location?
Use the share option to send your coordinates and address as text through any messaging or email app installed on your phone.
Does the app track me in the background?
No. The app only reads your location while the app is open and the location or tracking screen is on screen. Closing the app, switching to another app, or leaving the screen stops location updates — there is no background or always-on tracking.
What does "Live Tracking" do, exactly?
Live Tracking shows your speed, heading and altitude updating in real time while the app is open and the tracking screen is active, and shows a snapshot summary of speed, GPS accuracy and altitude when you stop it — it does not log distance traveled or a route. It runs only in the foreground, the same as the rest of the app — it is not a background movement tracker.
What does Location History show?
History shows locations you've viewed or saved while using the app — it's a log of app activity, not a continuous record of everywhere you've been. It's stored locally on your device.
Does the app work without an internet connection?
GPS positioning works offline. Looking up a street address for your coordinates, and showing a map view, needs an internet connection.
In what formats can I share my location?
You can share your coordinates and address as plain text, or copy them to the clipboard to paste into any other app, such as maps, messages or email.
Is my location data private?
Your location, saved places and history are stored on your device and are not uploaded to Yalintech servers. Like most free apps, the app uses standard analytics and, where applicable, ads, which are handled separately from your location data and are not used to track your movements.
