  • We created PathSense to solve a problem that plagued our previous startup — Trapster. At Trapster we had over 20,000,000 users and would have loved to offer them background location monitoring and a host of other features that were just impossible at the time due to the GPS battery drain. The PathSense team has spent the past 2-years hard at work on this problem, and we've cracked it - We are very proud and excited to offer our beta SDK!
