But does this also work for saved locations and not only the location of the device? Since the device location won’t be the car location most of the time, I need the saved location synced and displayed, not the device location.


Thanks for the reply! Although Mapstr wasn’t built for my use case, it provides all the features I need, thanks. I can create multiple locations and give them a tag, and they automatically get shared to others. I’ll test this app in the following days/ weeks and hope it is what I was searching for.


On Owntracks I only see the option for sharing the coordinates. They don’t get displayed on the map with an icon or something similar. I have to manually put the coordinates in google maps to see the location


I have 2 sharing options: via Link or file. But I need a sharing option where I don’t have to manually create and send to others.


Ohh that sounds great since I want to set up a nextcloud server anyway in the near future. I searched in the app marketplace of nextcloud for an app but haven’t found anything matching…


There wasn’t an app called osmplus, but OsmAnd. It is kind of what I searched, except I haven’t found a feature for sharing with my family. But thanks for your reply, it is the best app I tried so far.


Thanks for your reply!

ATAK may be a nice piece of software but the wrong app for my use case. It offers too many features I won’t need, and the setup for it to work is probably too complicated.

I looked into Owntracks (just the app, haven’t installed the server yet) and it looks more of what I was looking for. I tested the list of locations, but the location only gets displayed as coordinates and not on the map. Eventually, I will see some more features when having a server, but idk. Is there like a public server, so I can play around before putting too much time in installing the server?


Android App for tagging locations on a map?
I'm searching an android app to mark the locations of multiple parked cars. It should be possible to mark different cars somehow to identify them. It would also be cool if there is a feature to share the location with someone on another devica (like a sync between users, **NOT copy of coordinates or link on maps** In other words, I need an app to tag multiple locations on a map. It doesn't require to be designed for parked car locations. The app must have these features: - GPS Tracker with map - support to tag multiple locations - mark them somehow uniquely (like note, category, color, icon, ...) The following features would be nice to have: - sync with other devices, for example family - history of locations - set date/time since location is active (can be timestamp) _I'm ok with paying/ ads or require to self host._
