This is a very simple location listener app which sends your new found location to a web service.

The app will not actively request for a new location so basically consumes no additional power. I suggest enabling Google Location History on your phone. This takes care of efficiently tracking your location without draining your battery and the new found locations are sent to your API by using this app.

Basically this app is just a tool because Google refuses to make a Google Location History API :-(


Your position is sent to a URL using a post requests.
You can optionally add an api key to the post variables which is sent in the "apikey" parameter.
