about
Ever been on a trip and missed your stop? Or regretted not keeping track of one of your journeys? If so, that means you haven’t heard about my project yet!
The Termux-GPS-tracker script is a tool designed to eliminate those problems. Once properly configured and launched, it continuously analyzes your location, compares it to your destination, and tells you how far away you are.

features
Once launched with your chosen intervals, destination point, and other required parameters, the script starts fetching your current location from the device’s GPS and calculates how far you are from your selected target.
When you reach the destination within the defined radius, the script notifies you with a vibration and an optional ringtone at a set volume.
Another key feature of the script is logging each point of your journey into a KML file. This file can easily be opened in services like Google My Maps, Google Earth, or any other platform that supports custom maps. Once uploaded, you’ll see the stages of your trip on the map—each marked with a timestamp including date and precise hour.

compatibility
The script is compatible with all recent versions of Termux and Termux:API. It is crucial to properly configure and grant the necessary permissions to the Termux:API package, as it handles location tracking and sound playback.
