This apps seems to work fine, gets a position and shows it on the screen, but the generated kml is empty!? (on Samsung GT-S6102 under Android 2.3.6) Any trick to make it working?

About this app

Location from Chip (LoC) [Android] is a user friendly GPS data logger for positioning data. Several different logging intervals can be selected (5 Hz mode is currently limited by GPS API and on experimental stage) for obtaining historic data.
Hence LoC can be used beyond common specialized applications in sports and leisure (riding, hiking, para gliding, free riding, skiing, bycicling, jogging, etc.).

In the area of Quality Management of transportation systems the development of new applications for travellers LoC offers optimal assistance for system operators, researchers and technicians: Purchasing costs for stand alone GPS-Logging Devices for data collection can be saved, insofar the personnel uses Android V2.1 or higher smartphones.

The local data base containing historic data can be easily exported to the exernal SD card where a data transfer by
e-mail, Bluetooth or USB can be initiated. Furthermore the tracks and manual defined points of interests (POI) can be exported as kml for the integration in GIS-Systems like Google Maps, Google Earth or Quantum GIS.

An allrounder with privacy
