Do you want a stable easy-to-use, easy-to-understand application that helps you record the time you spend at your workplace(s) just by having your iPhone in you pocket while working? Do you want to to run this kind of application during the working hours of the day without charging?
Then this is the application for you.

Note that this app still consumes battery, since the GPS cannot be used without draining battery. However, if you carefully trim the settings for your needs, you will get the lowest possible battery usage for this kind of application.

The keywords for this application are
• Unique low power consumption by combining four different methods (use the default 100 m accuracy)
• If the default accuracy does not work (e.g. no wifi's around), change the accuracy to 10 m to use the GPS.
• Stability (no crash after months of testing)
• Simplicity
• Correctness
• Easy to use
• Easy to understand
• User friendly

There are five tabs in GpsSheet:
1. Control – Turns on/off automatic GPS-supported region checkin/checkout, shows checkin/checkout state, performs manual checkin/checkout
2. Places – Define/Edit regions as circles on a map
3. Activities – Ties together several regions into one activity/work-task. Useful if working in several regions
4. History – Shows checkin periods as records. Records can be edited/deleted or manually added
5. Report – On-the-fly report that shows your time report with day/week summaries week by week. Time in region, activity sum and week sum are reported day by day. Email reports in html/excel format are sent on demand

Great features:
✓ User-defined multiple regions (i.e. locations/places) defining workplaces on a map
✓ User location can be dragged and redefined using map
✓ Automatic GPS-assisted checkin/checkout into regions. Works also when application is in background!
✓ Automatic address lookup as suggestion for location name (only on IOS 5 and later)
✓ Optional manual region checkin/checkout into user selected region
✓ Report includes overtime/flextime per day and per week
✓ Email html-formatted report for selected weeks
✓ Email file to be opened by Excel (tab-separated csv file)
✓ Report can be decimal (comma or period) or hour:minute
✓ Support for EU week number standard (ISO 8601) or US week number standard
✓ Support week start at Sunday or Monday
✓ User defined length of working day individually for all weekdays
✓ User defined lunch withdrawal from activity sum
✓ Vibration and audio notation for checkin/checkout
✓ Detection method and accuracy is runtime visible. Useful when trimming settings for optimal low-power consumption
✓ Regions can be individually disabled/enabled
✓ Per-region add/withdraw entrance/exit time
✓ Per-region detection accuracy
✓ Automatic log records for enter/exit of regions
✓ Regions/Activities/Records can be deleted/added/corrected
✓ Changes are reflected immediately. E.g. when moving a region on the map, a checkin/checkout takes place when appropriate and log records are created
✓ Tab bar icon shows checkin/checkout state as a badge, application icon shows checkin state as an “1” badge

Note: Understanding the application settings is crucial for configuring GpsSheet (look in the global settings that you reach through Apple’s application with the grey cogwheel icon).

Limitations:
1. The only calendar used by this app is the Gregorian calendar!
2. Supported decimal time formats are "dd.dd" and "dd,dd" , where d is a digit in the range 0-9.
3 Supported time period formats are "HH:MM" and "HHh:MMm", where H and M are digits in the range 0-9.

Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. To lower the power consumption you MUST change the default settings to find the best settings for your need.
