Google Launches MyTrack 2.0 Android App

Initially launched in 2009, MyTrack Android App has got a makeover in the Google Play Store a couple of days back. MyTrack is an Android app that is capable of visualizing your location over time for sharing in Google Maps as well as Google Earth. This is achieved as the app uses the GPS capabilities of your phone. The initial version was used by the Google team to track HTC team Columbia during the Tour de France. A year later Google released the source code and made it open source for everyone interested to use it in their own applications.

This time as Google releases MyTrack 2.0, they have enhanced its features. The interesting ones include the ability to playback your tours over Google Earth for Android and over a period of time you can also have the aggregation of statistics to show the trends in your performance. While the new interface is supposed to be simpler and faster, for those who found it difficult with the charts and stats in the previous version may love the new improved charts and the stat tables that Google says are more easier to read.

If you are a biker or runner or hiker and in possession of an android device this link to Google Play store will be very useful for you ! However if you are a iOS, BB or Windows phone user, there is disappointment for you as MyTracks 2.0 exclusivity for Android has continued over from its previous version.
