I want one app to track my position at all times. I use google because I’m unaware of another—and I figure they have optimized the energy consumption of doing so. Then again, would be thrilled if someone could recommend an alternate way of doing this on iOS (preferably native).
PS this function allowed me to time stamp my location which proved incredibly helpful in a FOFA request with state patrol—got me out of a ticket that should never have been issued!
- lonelappde 7y agoFOFA? FOIA? How did you make your case? The court trusted your Google takeout? Or you got a subpoena?
- CrazyCatDog 7y agoFOIA thank you for catching this! I requested footage from the patrol person’s vehicle. They circled back and needed the exact time of footage (I was ticketed long after the alleged violation). So this was me personally using the time stamp to surface the window of footage necessary. Turns out the camera caught a car veering into my lane that the officer “did not remember”, thereby exonerating me of swerving into the shoulder.
- mattivc 7y agoI use an app called Arc for this: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/arc-app-location-activity/id1063151918 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/arc-app-location-activity/id10... I am pretty happy with it, so i can recommend giving it a try.
- CrazyCatDog 7y agoEXACTLY what I was looking for, thank you!
