# Building a GPS Tracker App in Titanium

[I have big plans this summer](http://fokkezb.nl/rwanda). I hope to cycle 400km through Rwanda (Africa) and raise €10,000 in funds for Compassion, a children aid charity.

Obviously this means I'm on my bike a lot these days. I've been tracking all my rides using [Ride with GPS](https://ridewithgps.com) from the start, but a few weeks ago I wondered how easy it would be to build such a GPS tracker myself in Titanium.

So, I present to you...

## Tracker 4 Compassion

This initial version simply tracks your geolocation. You can view your previous routes on a map or browse through the individual data points. I plan to add more features in the next two months as I start to use the app for my own rides and hope to have it fairly complete by the time I go to Rwanda in June.

## Learn from the source

As an Appcelerator Developer Evangelist I help developers to build Native Mobile Apps and APIs in JavaScript. One way I do this is by building and blogging about [sample apps](https://github.com/appcelerator-developer-relations).

In this spirit I [open sourced the app on GitHub](https://github.com/fokkezb/tracker) and as I continue to develop the app I will publish blog posts to guide you through the code and share some best practices:

* [How to target more devices with less icons & launch images](docs/icons-launch-images.md)

* [How to protect your global scope and still share variables](docs/global-scope.md)

## Contribute to the app...or to Compassion

I use [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/fokkezb/tracker/issues) to track planned features, enhancements and bugs. Feel free to contribute ideas there, or help me resolve them and send a PR. I will list the names of all contributors on the app's *Settings* screen.

Of course you are also more then welcome to [contribute to Compassion](http://fokkezb.nl/rwanda).

I'll follow up with the first blog post on the app source code soon.
