Petit Poucet is a replacement of Google Maps with some features that you need when you walk, features lacking in the original application.







With Petit Poucet you can

from time to time, simply put a marker of your position, just with one thumb

look at your altitude

survey the compass

look at all markers in order, for example, to retrieve the point where you left your car

take a picture, you'll know later your location and altitude at the time you took it

review the time between two markers

survey the state of the GPS satellites used for the positionning

look at the trips made before, long after, as each trip and each marker is automatically saved

rename or delete, when you want, any mark : just click on it on the map

easily transfer the pictures to your pc with a USB cord : they're sorted by date

retrieve the location of a mark by clicking on it on the list

And this is simple, the application having been designed by a hiker who didn't want to sit and look at his Android device, but just pick a look when needed.

Here are a few screenshots :

Tips

You don't have to give a name to all your marks, nor to all your trips. You'll be able to find them by date anyway. And to name them later if you like.

You can suppress the unwanted pictures directly on the SD card, from your PC, if you want. But you can keep a lot of them on the SD card, that's not a problem.

You won't be able to take photos while your device is connected to your PC and you're browsing the SD card. But this won't usually be a problem...

The GPS is more accurate if you're outside and far from high walls or buildings.

A long clic on a stone in the list opens a menu, enabling you, for instance, to look at the photo.

On the edit dialog, a clic on the picture opens it.
