Where Does GPSLogger Store Track Logs?
GPSLogger writes GPX logs to its app-specific folder by default, movable anywhere in settings.
Last updated
GPSLogger writes each track as GPX, KML, or CSV into its default folder, which on modern Android sits inside app-specific storage rather than a top level folder. The exact path shows on the app's main screens and differs per device.
That default has one sharp edge: uninstalling deletes everything in it. Move the folder in settings to shared storage for logs that survive the app, and copy finished tracks to a PC. A gpslogger.properties file at /sdcard root can preset the folder and all options for fleet deployments.
Where GPSLogger stores this, by platform
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.mendhak.gpslogger/files/
Default log folder on modern Android, shown on the app's main screens. Change it in settings to any shared folder for uninstall proof logs. Files here vanish with the app, so copy finished GPX tracks out. A /sdcard/gpslogger.properties file presets options on load.
Frequently asked questions
How do I change where GPSLogger saves tracks?
Open settings and pick a new log folder. Future tracks go there while old files stay put, so move them by hand for one archive. Shared storage folders survive uninstalls, the app-specific default does not.
GPSLogger files disappeared after reinstalling. Why?
The default folder lives in app-specific storage that Android deletes with the app. Keep the log folder on shared storage or copy tracks to a PC regularly. Auto upload to Dropbox, Drive, or OpenStreetMap also guards against it.
