PathRec

PathRec is an app written for my book, PhoneGap 3.x Mobile Application Development Hotshot. The app allows the user to record their location over a period of time. The user can then display their path at any time. The app is built on Cordova 3.x, and supports iOS and Android. Plugins used include: Geolocation, Globalization, Status Bar, and Keyboard.

The icon is to the right, minus the iOS 7 curved borders (these are applied automatically by the operating system). The icon is meant to symbolize recording (the red dot) the user’s location (the cross-hairs in a circle.

Main Screen

This is a bit more than what the actual screen shows – technically the view is an off-canvas view (ala Facebook). Therefore, when the left-hand sidebar is visible, a portion of the right-hand view is cut off. When the entire right-hand view is visible, the left-hand sidebar is hidden. The user can use the hamburger menu to toggle this state.

The green path in the shot represents a recorded path, and the marker indicates the user’s current position.
