Android: Spotback: GPS Location Saver

Save a place. Find your way back.

Spotback helps you save GPS locations and return to them later with simple arrow navigation — no traditional map required.

Perfect for travel, parking, hiking and everyday places you don't want to lose.

Save places while travelling

Save hotels, museums, restaurants, sights, ATMs, pharmacies, photo spots and more.

Spotback can automatically detect useful location information such as city and country when available.

Add:
• Name and notes
• Category
• Favorite status
• Photo
• Vehicle information
• GPS location and accuracy

Remember where you parked

Manage multiple vehicles with different types and custom colors, then associate parking locations with the correct vehicle.

🧭 Navigate back without a map

Select a saved location and follow the directional arrow towards it.

See live:
• Distance
• Speed
• Estimated arrival time
• Location accuracy
• Satellite information

Navigation can continue in the background with a persistent notification.

Live GPS & GNSS

Check real information reported by your device, including:
• Visible satellites
• Satellites used in the fix
• Signal strength
• Coordinates
• Accuracy
• Speed
• GPS fix status

The satellite radar gives you a clear visual overview of your current GNSS reception.

🥾 Useful outdoors

Save campsites, cabins, hiking spots, drinking fountains, viewpoints and other useful locations while exploring.

Find saved places quickly

Search and filter your locations by category, Favorites, country and city.

Your History is kept separately, so previous location activity can remain available even if a saved spot is deleted.

Add photos and details

Choose an existing image or take a new photo directly from Spotback.

Create your own categories with custom names, icons and colors.

Share Spotback locations

Export saved spots as portable .spotback files and share them with other Spotback users.

Compatible shared spots can include photos and supported category or vehicle information.

Backup & restore

Back up your saved locations, photos and supported settings and restore them when needed.
