# Lost
Location Open Source Tracker (for Android)
[](https://circleci.com/gh/mapzen/lost)
# Usage
This project seeks to provide an open source alternative to the [Google Play services location APIs][2] that depends only on the Android SDK. It provides 1:1 replacements for the [FusedLocationProviderApi][3], [GeofencingApi][4], and [SettingsApi][5].
Lost operates by making calls directly to the [LocationManager][1]. Lost can run on any Android device running API 15 or higher regardless of whether or not it supports the Google Play ecosystem.
