Tect O Trak Lite
This application allows the user to track and record their movements within a predefined area. Searches can be saved and resumed. Additionally, you can also 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.
For detailed instructions how to use Tect O Trak, please visit http://historyhunters.co.uk/tectotrak/

Ideally, you should turn on both gps and Tect O Trak at least five minutes before you actually start detecting/recording. This will give the gps time to settle and get a good moving fix on you, You will benefit with a more accurate starting point..
A personal message from the author.I am not a professional developer. My interest is purely in metal detecting. Although I am the designer, I have to hire in people to do the actual hard coding. If you like Tect O Trak, please show your support by purchasing the app, also leaving a review in the playstore. This will go some way towards helping me develop the app further. I have lots more innovative ideas to implement, all dedicated to the specialised needs of the detectorist. With a little support from the community it will be interesting to see how far I can take it!

Some users have recently reported that after upgrading to Android 5.0 they have experienced some issues with their devices GPS. This is caused by a documented defect in the Android 5.0 'GPS Lock' coding, and affects a number of devices. If you think this affects you, please download install the app 'GPS Locker' https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentlexx.gpslock&hl=en Once installed, open the app. go to settings and enable 'Auto lock on GPS on' This is a satisfactory temporary work around until Android release the fix..Any questions, suggestions, or ideas, please address to :

Brilliant app! I love it.. People need to read the user guide or watch the demonstration video before slagging off this fantastic app . If you have any problems contact the developer. He will go out of his way to help you. . Kudos.
Whats the difference between the lite version and the paid version as I cant seem to see anywhere what extra stuff you can do with the paid version.
looks good can't wait to try it out on my next hunt.
Hi Mark I'm following instructions but I'm not getting any coloured dots as I are walking ,? thankyou
Helo MR.mark. wish you have a great days! I have a question. Does your real app work accuratly in iran for android? And how much is the price of the app?
If I bought other version can I install this as full version?
It's not working properly on my device?
This app. Looks amazing. Nice and simple and easy to figure out. Just got my first detector and rearing to go. This is exactly what I was looking for. Only issue found, on sony xperia xz premium the torch feature doesn't work but it doesn't matter. Would also be nice to be able to turn off satellite image to save data and also to turn off the vibrate in the app. But those aren't a necessity. Well done on this app.
Loving the lite app. Going to use it a bit longer then will look at buying the pay version. Q. Is it possible to add an image retrospectively? Out in the field my photo was out of focus so I cancelled it but didn't then have the option of re-taking so the find is recorded without an image. Cheers.
After reading how to use this app, I have found it to work great and would recommend it to anyone 5,stars from me
Cant wait to try this out this week, when I am off work...
So confusing!
Great stops me going over the same ground
Hi even though I did switch off everything thinking I was running on just GPS it was still set to wi fi first within my GPS setting, once I stopped this the app appears to be working fine now. Sorry for the previous review.
Great app! Nothing else like it... installed the lite version and loved it! Straight away brought the full version and works like a treat ☺ thanks Mark!
Wasted no time upgrading to paid app. Get on it folks!
Accuracy in this area is too poor to make this app useful
The only app any metal detector needs.
won't let u set markers really annoying
Using Galaxy s4. Had problems with samsung's camera app, changed to google's cam app resolved the issues.
Great APP ! The only issue is having your cell phone with you when detecting. All my detectors (V3i / Nox 800 / DFX) are very sensitive to EMI and need to have the phone in Airplane mode while detecting or it will suffer from too much EMI. Love the App and Thank You..
