[OSGeo Africa] Android GPS tracking on offline imagery

[Catchall]

Hi Chris,
Yep - spoilt for choice - and that is the problem that prompted my 
attempt at crowd-sourcing some knowledge.
Qfield does look good - it's the first one I noticed, and then a billion 
other options came along when I hit "similar".

Thanks for making the effort to respond.

Regards,
Zoltan
