I'm creating an app that logs miles. This should be a counter. It should have a start button that starts the counter and counts the miles as you drive and a stop button that stops. Then it should save the miles locally. Any help? I'm creating it in Android studio. Will I need to use a sensor or maybe like Google Maps? Thanks in advance

I personally can't see how sensors are going to help in this example.

Sensors OverView[^]

Google Maps may be the final place you need to be but plan old GPS is all you need.

Something like this would be a good starting point

programming-gps-on-android-and-calculating-distance-between-two-geographic-locations/[^]

I'm sure if you hit google more than I have you may come up with other examples.

It's always worth a punt on here with the search term Android gps[^]

Hope it helps
