Help please.

How do I get access to GPS data from my Android phone? Yes, I have it switched on in settings.

I need to:
a) Get an on-screen readout of the GPS coordinates of the location. (Ideally with altitude as well)
b) Plot my walking route on a map on my phone. Can I get such from Fitbit GPS, too?
c) Download a .csv file from the phone for each week’s travels, (eg. by car) giving GPS coordinates.

Great. Check web.

Is ViewRanger being discontinued?
Update 26th November 2021
Soon the ViewRanger service will be discontinued. We currently expect to switch off access to the ViewRanger app and website at the end of February 2022.

Um, any other suggestions?

Installed now. Bloody hell that’s nice.
I might even be able to use it as a car speedometer. (My current car speedometer is 10% out).

ViewRanger has led me to Outdooractive, which is extra good for plotting walks.
Though the mobile phone stopped the application part way through the walk, then resumed later.

Thanks all.
