Store listing

Full description
Tect O Trak is a multi-mode Android GPS Track and Find recording application. This application enables users to track and record their movements within a predefined area. Searches can be saved and resumed. Additionally, you can mark/revisit find spots and make detailed photo and text records of your finds. You can also view and interact with your files on Google Earth using the KML export tool. GPS Mode — Traditional standard GPS tracking. Bearing Mode — This enables the user to pre-plan their tracks. GPS is only used to track progress along the defined path and guarantees perfectly accurate straight lines. Fog of War — This mode covers the entire search area with fog. The user's mission is to reveal the ground underneath, Command and Conquer style. It is a combination of normal GPS tracking with the option to set a single-leg bearing line to help you accurately aim for particular areas not yet done. This is my own personal favourite mode. I find it frees me up from always walking straight lines just to create clear and neat track lines, mainly for appearance's sake. FoW mode allows you to wander freely and follow your instincts. It's very satisfying to clear a patch knowing you haven't missed a single inch. It also has the added bonus that you can set the span of the swing, adding even more accuracy to your coverage. Subscriber Version vs Non-subscriber Non-subscribers receive the complete, improved classic legacy version of Tect O Trak — exactly the experience that earned it 5,363 users and a 4.7-star rating, now rebuilt and enhanced for modern Android. Subscribers unlock two additional precision track recording modes — Bearing Mode and Fog of War — as well as access to ToT Central, the Tect O Trak user community hub, where you can chat with fellow detectorists, share finds, report bugs, request features, and securely back up and restore your data remotely. Specifically designed for metal detectorists, by a detectorist. I would greatly appreciate any feedback and support. For detailed instructions on how to use Tect O Trak, please visit https://totai-2f15c.web.app/user-guide For legacy users looking to import and restore their old database: Open the app and immediately make a backup (of nothing). This creates a folder called ToTai, stored in the Documents folder of your phone. Open the ToTai folder, and you will see specific folders for Finds, Gallery, Export, etc. Drop the appropriate files from your legacy database into the relevant folders. The application-database.sqlite file should be placed in the ToTai main folder. When finished, reopen the app and click Restore. You will find it just as you left it. Important next step: After restoring, it is highly recommended to create a fresh backup using the new V8 build. This will assimilate your old database format into the modern V8 structure, which semi-automates all future backup and restore processes. With over 5,300 users, Tect O Trak has proven itself to be a solid, reliable, and trusted companion. If you have the slightest problem, please don't hesitate to message me: [email protected] Pro Tip:- ideally, you should turn on both GPS and Tect O Trak at least five minutes before you actually start detecting/recording. Let it track you moving around for a while. This will give the GPS time to get a good fix on you. You will benefit from a more accurate starting point. The Future of Tect O Trak The next major version, V9, will introduce Augmented Reality. Point your phone across your search area, and see your tracks and find markers overlaid directly onto the real world in front of you. Stand at the edge of your permission and see exactly where you've been and — more importantly — where you haven't. It's ambitious. It may take a while to get it right. But the technology is there, and when it works as well as I believe it can, it will change the way you detect. Be lucky, Mark. Privacy Policy: https://totai-2f15c.web.app/privacy
